I wrote about it at my censored site back in 2020. And not for the first time either..** **But, suddenly this old news is back at the forefront again. Why might that be? We’ll get to that.** ***original url below- not accessible thanks to heavy handed internet censorship*** **Link to the original news story- still viable** **thankfully** ##### [**UN Registers Turkey- Libya Maritime Deal**](https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/un-registers-turkey-libya-maritime-deal/1992682) > **UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Thursday registered a Turkey-Libya deal on the delimitation of maritime jurisdiction areas in the Mediterranean.** > > **The agreement “has been registered with the Secretariat, in accordance with Article 102 of the Charter of the United Nations,” said the certificate of registration dated Wednesday.** > > **“Every treaty and every international agreement entered into by any Member of the United Nations after the present Charter comes into force shall as soon as possible be registered with the Secretariat and published by it,” reads Article 102.** > > ##### **The pact with Libya’s Government of National Accord (GNA) was signed Nov. 27, 2019 and passed by Turkey’s parliament Dec. 5.** > > ##### **It took effect Dec. 8 after the two countries published it in their respective official gazettes.** **It is NOT a new agreement. Despite the latest media presentation.** > Ankara applied to the UN to register the pact Dec. 12. > > **The memorandum setting marine jurisdictions rejects unilateral and illegal activities by other regional countries and international firms and aims to protect the rights of both countries.** **Keep in mind which nation is in charge of the UN?** **I asked in 2020. Who runs the UN? – Article 110** ``` The present Charter shall be ratified by the signatory states in accordance with their respective constitutional processes. The ratifications shall be deposited with the Government of the United States of America, which shall notify all the signatory states of each deposit as well as the Secretary-General of the Organization when he has been appointed. ``` **Kind of makes you think….** **Presently.. and I should add, as expected!** **Why as expected? Because this agreement was never going to be accepted by Greece, Israel, Cyprus, the EU or the US. It does not fit into the remake the region plan of Usrael.** > [Greece rejects Libya’s approval of maritime deal with Turkey](https://neoskosmos.com/en/2026/10/21/news/greece/greece-rejects-libyas-approval-of-maritime-deal-with-turkey/) > [EU, Greece reject Turkey-Libya maritime pact as Ankara defends deal](https://www.turkishminute.com/2026/10/21/eu-greece-reject-turkey-libya-maritime-pact-as-ankara-defends-deal/) **And of course Israel is not happy** [**Turkey’s maritime corridor in Libya threatens Israel’s Mediterranean shipping**](https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/defense-news/article-909947) > **The IDF Intelligence Directorate has begun focusing on the “Libya corridor” and Turkey’s growing military and diplomatic influence in the region, based on a maritime economic agreement signed in 2019 between the Turkish government and Libya’s politically and militarily divided government, and has expanded over the past two years.** **I’m going to move a 2 piece post covering this specific agreement and other issues surrounding it from my former site. Those two posts will definitely give readers here a better understanding of the political machinations in this geographical area. Stay tuned** > **Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Libya’s approval of the 2019 maritime boundary memorandum:** > > Some react because they feel they have to react. Others genuinely have strategic problems with this issue. > > **But both legally and politically, this is an entirely legitimate agreement. There is no need to debate it.** > > **In fact, according to our lawyers, the agreement signed in 2019 was technically already in force. What parliament did was an act of acceptance, not ratification.** > > **Our goal, as everywhere else, is to bring stability, peace, tranquility and happiness to the Mediterranean.** > > **Our diplomacy has no other objective.—** Clash Report (@clashreport) [October 21, 2026](https://x.com/clashreport/status/2112948107373617475?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) **It is, IMO, a legit agreement.**
