Treaty of Jeddah (1974)

The 1974 Treaty of Jeddah was a treaty between Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.[1] The treaty intended to resolve the Saudi Arabia – United Arab Emirates border dispute. Saudi Arabia ratified the treaty in 1993, but the UAE has not yet ratified it.[2] The legal validity of the treaty has been questioned, since Qatar was not included in the negotiations, and the proposed settlement affects the Qatari border. However, Qatar had already reached a separate agreement on its border with Saudi Arabia in December 1965.[3]
