Because the Treaty regimes that govern the Northern Islands and the Dodecanese, respectively, differ substantially from one another the Turkish legal challenge must be analyzed separately with respect to the Treaty of Lausanne of 1923 (Northern Islands) and the Treaty of Paris of 1947 (Dodecanese).
Article 15 of the Treaty of Lausanne of 1923, by which Italian sovereignty over the Dodecanese was confirmed, did not set a water boundary by which it could be determined which of the islets of the Dodecanese were under Italian sovereignty and which were under Turkish sovereignty.
By contrast, European Parliament of the European Union (EU) recognizes the Treaty of Lausanne of 1923 and the Treaty of Paris of 1947 including the 1932 Convention and Protocol as the water boundaries of Greece and therefore as the external water boundary of the EU.
