Türkiye
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.
Objection Greece, 08-04-2002
The Government of the Hellenic Republic hereby declares that it does not accept such
Declaration, as it considers that Article 3a(ii) of the amended 1971 Convention, to
which the Declaration refers, is not contrary to International Law.

declaration of the Republic of Turkey, contained in its instrument of accession to
the Protocol of 1992 to amend the International Convention on the Establishment of
an International Fund for Compensation for Oil Pollution Damage, 1971, as it considers
that Article 3(a)(ii) of the 1992 Fund Convention (as defined in Article 27(2) of
the Protocol), to which the declaration refers, is not contrary to international law.
