The Court of Appeal of the Libyan capital Tripoli issued a ruling canceling the memorandum of understanding signed at the end of 2022 between the Libyan Government of National Unity and Turkey in the field of hydrocarbon energy (oil and gas).
this memorandum, which was signed in October 2022, aimed to enhance cooperation between the two countries in the exploration, exploitation, production, manufacturing, and marketing of hydrocarbon resources in Libya.
The government’s signing of the memorandum of understanding provoked reactions opposed to this step by the Speaker of the Libyan House of Representatives, Aguila Saleh, the government mandated by the Libyan House of Representatives, the head of the Democratic Party, Mohamed Sawan, and a number of members of the House of Representatives, the State and the Political Dialogue Forum, considering it illegal because the Prime Minister of the Unity Government, Abdul Hamid Dabaiba, is not competent to sign any agreements that entail long-term obligations on the Libyan state.
The agreement was also rejected by Egypt, Greece, and the European Union, which argued that the agreement violated the sovereign rights of other states, did not comply with the law of the sea, and could undermine regional stability.
The decision of the Court of Appeal in the capital, Tripoli, to cancel the agreement, came after it accepted the appeal submitted by 5 Libyan lawyers in December 2022, through which they demanded to stop the implementation of this agreement because it “robs the Libyan Oil Corporation of its jurisdiction in the exclusivity of oil trade and contains texts of different translations, and causes serious and irreparable damage when Turkey begins the work of the agreement, which makes it impossible to restore the situation to before its signing.”
Libyan lawyer Thuraya al-Tuwaibi said on Facebook: “Praise be to God, who honored us today with the issuance of the verdict in the appeal filed by me, lawyers Abdul Majeed al-Mit, Walid Balrajab, Fouad al-Shahawi and Abdul Salam Duqimish.”
