The author of the post argued that the government was deliberately delaying the installation of the cable. He stated that, if it wanted to show that it was pursuing its completion and the resolution of the issue with Turkey, it could use articles 74 and 83 of UNCLOS and immediately submit all the coordinates. https://t.co/vnYefdge41 #Κυβέρνηση #UNCLOS #Τουρκία #GR #TR (translated)

FLORENTIA stated that Turkey selectively used international law to contest the influence of the Greek islands and to claim greater control in the Eastern Mediterranean. She wrote that Kastellorizo had a crucial position, as it, according to her, connected the Greek and Cypriot Exclusive Economic Zones, and claimed that Ankara aimed to place Turkish continental shelf between Greece and Cyprus. Regarding Cyprus, FLORENTIA mentioned that Turkey argued to the west of the island that it was not entitled to a continental shelf, while to the east and south it invoked the rights of islands and signed delimitation agreements with the entity it referred to as a "pseudo-state." According to the post, these moves aimed to involve energy companies with the Turkish Cypriot side and to use natural gas as a means of pressure. FLORENTIA linked Turkish claims to the Turkey-Libya Memorandum and the doctrine of "Blue Homeland," arguing that the goal was for Turkey to gain a regulatory role in pipelines, cables, and investments towards Europe. She also criticized what she described as the contradiction between Turkey's non-accession to the UNCLOS and the invocation of judicial decisions based on it. Finally, she noted that an official European map showed a maritime zone between Crete, Kastellorizo, and Cyprus, which, according to her, Turkey presented as disputed. #Καστελόριζο #ΔιεθνέςΔίκαιο #Γεωπολιτική (translated)

Nikos Apelaios II argued that Greece and Egypt can unilaterally refer to the International Court of Justice in The Hague against Libya for violations of the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) and UNCLOS, as he stated, since Libya is a contracting party to the convention. He invoked Part XV of UNCLOS, saying that to activate the mandatory dispute resolution mechanisms there must be a difference between two contracting parties and the jurisdiction must not have been excluded. According to him, Libya has not excluded it. He added that a common agreement (compromis) for referral to the International Court or arbitration would represent a diplomatic step, but would require the consent of the other party. He identified the formally recognized state of Libya, based in Tripoli, as the other party. In his post, he said he wanted to explain the issue simply and used derogatory language for those he considered ignorant. #ΔιεθνέςΔίκαιο #Ελλάδα #Λιβύη (translated)

Nikos Appelaios II argued that the ratification of the Turkey-Libya memorandum by the eastern Libya parliament, following its ratification by the western Libya parliament in 2019, would provoke diplomatic reactions and strengthen Turkish activity in the eastern Mediterranean. He estimated that energy and bilateral relations would be affected, without changing Greece's legal position. He noted that Greece, Egypt, Cyprus, Israel, and the EU were expected to reiterate that the memorandum is null and produces no legal effects against third countries, as, in his view, it disregards the rights of Greek islands, especially Crete, based on UNCLOS. He added that verbal notes and coordinated European and international positions would be significant. Appelaios called on Athens to intensify pressure on Libya for the delimitation of maritime zones or to finalize the Greece-Egypt agreement of 2020, which, he noted, overlaps with Turkish-Libyan claims. He estimated that Turkey could interpret the ratification as a "green light" for further seismic surveys, geophysical studies, or drilling in the contested areas, as well as for increased naval presence and pressure to accept its claims. According to him, such moves would increase the risk of incidents. He characterized the ratification as a blow to the Greece-Cyprus-Israel axis and said it would complicate Greek research south of Crete. He mentioned that Libya had already reacted to the surveys since August, with a verbal note and a threat to freeze talks. He also estimated that Turkey would seek to exploit the now united Libyan position as leverage for multilateral negotiations. He predicted further rapprochement between Haftar and Turkey at economic, political, and possibly military levels, following the lifting of the 2020 boycott. According to him, this could alter the balance in eastern Libya and have serious implications for cooperation with Greece and Egypt. He clarified that the ratification would not resolve Libya's internal divisions nor would it automatically confer international legitimacy on the memorandum against third parties, but would politically strengthen Turkey and complicate Greek diplomacy. He added that Greece's legal position remained strong and that any potential escalation would depend on Turkish actions and the Greek response. Finally, he criticized the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stating that it had not acted in a timely manner, and mentioned that if he were prime minister, he would have already requested the resignation of George Gerapetritis. #Λιβύη #ΕλληνικήΔιπλωματία #ΑνατολικήΜεσόγειος (translated)

e-Defence reported, citing Reuters, that the Libyan parliament approved the Turkey-Libya memorandum of 2019 for the delimitation of maritime zones with Turkey and rescinded the decisions of 2020 that rejected it and called for a cessation of relations with Turkey. It linked the development to the replacement of the long-standing president of the Libyan Parliament, A. Saleh, by A. Nabili, a former head of the parliamentary friendship committee with Turkey. It was noted that the change occurred with the agreement of the Libyan National Army (LNA) and the Government of National Stability, which were described as the two opposing sides in the country. e-Defence characterized the decision as a blow to Greek interests and noted that the lack of ratification by the Libyan parliament was a key argument against the memorandum. It argued that the memorandum remained illegal under international law because, in its view, it did not take Greece into account as a neighboring state and violated the rights of Greek islands to continental shelf and EEZ, according to UNCLOS. It added that while Greek foreign policy was based on legal arguments, Turkish policy invested in showcasing hard power and argued that the developments in Libya demonstrated which approach prevailed. https://t.co/lL3A1AkPbp #Λιβύη #Τουρκία #Ελλάδα (translated)

Ο πρωθυπουργός Κυριάκος Μητσοτάκης μιλώντας από το βήμα της ΓΣ του ΟΗΕ αναφέρθηκε σε Τουρκία και επανέλαβε ότι η Σύμβαση για το Δίκαιο της Θάλασσας είναι το μόνο θεσμικό πλαίσιο για την επίλυση της μοναδικής μακροχρόνιας διαφοράς. Ειδικότερα, ο πρωθυπουργός έστειλε μήνυμα στην Άγκυρα προβάλλοντας τις πάγιες ελληνικές θέσεις: διάλογος με βάση το Διεθνές Δίκαιο και την UNCLOS, αλλά όχι υπό την απειλή πολέμου. #Μητσοτάκης #ΔιεθνέςΔίκαιο #Ελλάδα

α.Τα "Θαλάσσια Πάρκα" ορίζονται εντός ΕΧΥ,αλλιώς είναι μια μπούρδα και μισή απλώς για εντυπωσιασμό και εσωτερική κατανάλωση. β.Η νομική βάση και η αρμοδιότητα των κρατών να θεσπίζουν θαλάσσια πάρκα και προστατευόμενες περιοχές πηγάζουν από τη Σύμβαση του ΟΗΕ για το Δίκαιο της Θάλασσας (UNCLOS, 1982).Αυτή που η Τουρκία αρνείται επιμόνως να υπογράψει... Σε αντίθεση με όλες τις φωνές που ακούω ένθεν κα κείθεν,η ενέργεια αυτή των τούρκων μου μοιάζει μάλλον για μία ακόμη "πρόσκληση" -και υπό το κράτος πανικού- για καζάν-καζάν συμφωνία,η οποία θα πέσει αυτομάτως στο κενό... Θα παραμείνω ψύχραιμος και θα συνεχίσω να γράφω τις γελοιότητες των τούρκων και των εγχωριων αντιπροσώπων τους,στα γέρικα παπάρια μου... #Θάλασσα #Περιβάλλον #Δίκαιο

U članku se raspravlja o prijedlogu crnogorskog stručnjaka Samira Hadžića da otok Mamula postane polazišna točka za razgraničenje pomorskih granica između Hrvatske i Crne Gore, uz tvrdnje da bi takav potez donio prednosti obje države, dok pravni stručnjak Miha Baća upozorava na nesuglasja s međunarodnim pravom o pomorskom razgraničenju. #HrvatskaCrnaGoraGranica #Mamula #UNCLOS

Πόσο κουραστική είναι αυτή η "επιλεκτικότητα" στις αναφορές. Γιατί δεν μας παρουσιάζουν για παράδειγμα την απόφαση του Διεθνούς Δίκαιου στη διαιτησία Μάλτας - Λιβύης, όπου ένα νησί έλαβε σχεδόν πλήρη επήρεια απέναντι σε μια τεράστια ηπειρωτική ακτογραμμή; Γιατί δεν συμφέρει. Επιπλέον, το Καστελλόριζο δεν είναι ένας ακατοίκητος βράχος, αλλά ένα ολοζώντανο, κατοικημένο νησί με αυτόνομη οικονομική ζωή. Βάσει του Άρθρου 121 του UNCLOS, δικαιούται πλήρως Υφαλοκρηπίδα και ΑΟΖ. Τοσο δύσκολο είναι πια να το κατανοήσουν; Και προσέξτε. Το σχόλιο έγινε ακριβώς κάτω από ένα δικό μου που λέω ότι η Ελλάδα δεν διεκδικεί σπιθαμή γης από την Τουρκία. Σαν να μας λέει ότι αφού θέλετε να εξασκήσετε το δικαίωμά σας έχετε επεκτατικές τάσεις... Να τους ζωγραφίσουμε ότι τα νησιά μας και οι θάλασσές μας είναι η ίδια η γη μας, η ίδια η Ελλάδα, και αποτελούν μια ενιαία και αδιαίρετη εθνική επικράτεια; #ΔιεθνέςΔίκαιο #ΑΟΖ #Ελλάδα

Es ist mir eine große Ehre, zum Vizepräsidenten der 36.

Ho inviato una lettera al Direttore del Messaggero per richiedere la rettifica di un articolo incredibile scritto da una delle tante penne particolarmente sensibili alle ragioni di Putin, tal Enrico Scoccimarro. Secondo l’autore la Russia avrebbe stravinto all’Aja, presso il tribunale internazionale basato sulla Convenzione delle Nazioni Unite sul diritto del mare (UNCLOS), in un giudizio che sancirebbe ora la legittimità dell’occupazione della Crimea, della costruzione del Ponte di Kerch e del principio secondo cui le acque del Mar D’Azov sarebbero esclusivamente russe. Peccato che sia vero esattamente il contrario e che la versione riportata senza vergogna su una testata nazionale sia il copia e incolla del comunicato emesso dalla Federazione Russa. Nel pezzo si legge ad esempio che “il tribunale ha stabilito che lo Stretto di Kerch e il Mar d'Azov devono essere considerati acque interne, confermando la giurisdizione russa su tali aree”. In realtà il tribunale ha smontato questa tesi: «The Arbitral Tribunal thus cannot accept the Russian Federation's argument... and rejects the Russian Federation's first general objection». A rafforzamento di questo, la Russia sosteneva anche che dopo l'annessione illegale delle regioni di Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia e Kherson nel 2022 fosse cambiato lo status sovrano. Il tribunale ha respinto anche questo punto («rejects the Russian Federation's third general objection»), riaffermando che la giurisdizione si basa sulla situazione del 2016, quando entrambi i paesi erano indiscutibilmente Stati costieri legittimi del Mar d'Azov. Nell’articolo è anche scritto che “il collegio arbitrale ha respinto anche le pretese ucraine relative allo sfruttamento delle risorse naturali, negando a Kiev il controllo sulle attività estrattive e sulle riserve ittiche presenti in quelle acque”. Una versione manipolata che spaccia per diniego, quella che è piuttosto una dichiarazione di incompetenza da parte del tribunale. L'UNCLOS (la Convenzione ONU sul diritto del mare) ha respinto le richieste ucraine, non perché infondate, ma perché non ha l'autorità legale per stabilire a quale Stato appartenga un territorio terrestre (la Crimea). A questo proposito Scoccimarro scrive anche che “la Corte ha negato che l'integrazione delle regioni di Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia e Kherson, avvenuta negli ultimi anni, rappresenti una violazione del diritto internazionale in questo contesto marittimo”. Altra manipolazione, che lascia intendere una legittimazione delle annessioni da parte dei giudici, le quali invece, nel ritenere le acque del Mar D’Azov ancora condivise è stata di fatto palesemente esclusa. Nell’articolo infine è scritto che “la Corte ha sottolineato che anche l'Ucraina non ha rispettato integralmente i propri obblighi di cooperazione internazionale necessari alla tutela dell'ambiente marino”. Ma non si trova traccia delle violazioni del diritto internazionale marittimo da parte russa nella costruzione del ponte di Kerch, elemento che si evince in ben tre punti del dispositivo. In particolare al punto 5 si legge: «Decides, unanimously, that the Russian Federation violated Article 206 of the Convention...» (La Russia ha violato l'obbligo di valutazione di impatto ambientale per il ponte di Crimea, i cavi elettrici e i gasdotti). Al punto 6 è scritto: «...violated Articles 205 and 206... by failing to publish reports...» (Ha violato l'obbligo di pubblicare e trasmettere i rapporti ambientali). Infine il punto 7: «...violated Articles 123, 192, and 194... and by failing to fulfil its duty to cooperate...» (Ha violato l'obbligo generale di protezione dell'ambiente marino e, soprattutto, ha violato il dovere di cooperazione con l'Ucraina). Dal momento che Scoccimarro non è nuovo a simili vergognose violazioni del codice deontologico, ho chiesto esplicitamente la rettifica. In caso di inadempienza procederò alla segnalazione al collegio di disciplina dell’Ordine dei Giornalisti del Lazio, nel cui elenco è iscritto. #Russia #Ucraina #DirittiUmani
