EU Leaders Reject Turkey-Libya Maritime Deal as Violation of International Law European Council President António Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen have reiterated the EU's opposition to Turkey's maritime agreement with Libya. The leaders said the deal violates the sovereign rights of third countries, does not comply with the law of the sea, and cannot produce legal consequences for those countries. Greece has strongly opposed the agreement, arguing that it infringes on its maritime and economic rights. Turkey continues to promote its controversial "Blue Homeland" maritime doctrine while refusing to join the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. Ankara seems quite enthusiastic about maritime rules, provided it gets to draw the map. Join Israel online
