reservation
17-08-2001
In relation to Article 3/a(ii) of this Convention, the Republic of Turkey considers
that this Article is not in conformity with international law and it defines those
maritime areas as high seas whereby no country has jurisdiction and sovereign rights
according to international law. The Republic of Turkey, however, taking into consideration
the objectives of this Convention, reserves its rights deriving from the Convention.
Within this context, the Republic of Turkey hereby declares that in maritime areas
where there has been no delimitation agreement between opposite or adjacent coastal
States, the exercise of authority or any claim thereof under this Convention by any
coastal State Party to this Convention, creates no rights or obligations with regard
to delimitation of maritime areas, nor does it create a precedent for the future agreements
between those States concerning the delimitation of maritime areas under national
jurisdiction.
