    Bezwaar Turkije, 13-11-1989

    With reference to the IMO document SAR/Circ.41, regarding the ratification of the International Convention on Maritime Search and Rescue, 1979, by the Government of Greece, I am writing to inform you that the Government of Turkey would like to record its formal objection to the reservation made by the Government of Greece on 4 September 1989 at the time of the ratification of the International Convention on Maritime Search and Rescue, 1979. Paragraphs 2.1.4 and 2.1.5 of the Annex to the Convention clearly stipulate that regions shall be established by agreement and cannot be established unilaterally. On the other hand, Search and Rescue regions established in accordance with the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation of 7 December 1944, as referred by Greece, pertains exclusively to the SAR services regarding air navigation and as such remains outside the scope of and does not prejudice the Annex to the International Convention on Maritime Search and Rescue 1979. In view of the above, the Government of Turkey considers that the Greek reservation is incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention and cannot be construed as a reservation under the international law. A similar communication dated 30 December 1980 from the Ambassador of Turkey in London was received by the depositary recording "the formal objection" of the Government of Turkey to the same reservation made by the Government of Greece at the time of the signature of the Convention.
