Saudi Arabia and Qatar have signed a border demarcation agreement at the UN headquarters in New York putting an international seal of approval on a 1965 agreement. “This is the icing on the cake,” said Saudi Ambassador to the UN Khalid Al-Nafisee before the signing ceremony, Thursday. “We now have an internationally accepted document. The United Nations requires member states to register their maritime border agreements. The agreement then becomes an official UN document and is legally binding under international law.” UN Assistant Secretary General for Legal Affairs joined Ambassador Al-Nafisee and Qatari Ambassador Abdulaziz Al-Nasser for the signing ceremony.
