Abstract The present chapter purports to revisit the debate on the legal nature of the EU-Turkey Statement utilising international legal norms on treaty-making. Its objective is to elaborate on the statement’s production of legal effects under international law, an aspect largely overlooked by the Court in its NF, NG and NM cases. The main argument advanced herein is that the question of authorship and legal nature of the statement, if analysed in light of international rules on treaty-making, show that the Statement is an international agreement authored by the EU and Turkey.
