In February of 1985, Ugo Vetere, the mayor of Rome, and Chedly Klibi, the mayor of Carthage, signed a symbolic treaty “officially” ending the Third Punic War (which had been supposedly extended by the lack of a peace treaty for more than 2100 years).

Sejo added these pithy words on 01 Feb 08 at 2:23 pmHe’s been a good mayor. One of those peculiar Italian communists so distant from Moscow and so close to the European socialdemocracies. Eccentrical country!
Haven’t heard of him in years. Thanks for the reminder.

Nabil Farhat added these pithy words on 11 Mar 08 at 6:53 amAccording to tunisian Law , only the President can conclude peace treaties with the agreement of the chamber of Deputies(people’s House). The president never signed the treaty and the Chamber of Deputy ( which is by law considered to be the same standing body since it’s creation in 814 B.C) never took a vote .
Even if we consider that the Mayor is the Defacto Consul of the City of Carthage and not the State of Carthage , the Chamber of Deputies still has to take a vote to Ratify the treaty. Thr ratification has to be made within 15 days from the signature of the treaty ( A Law still standing since the first 814 B.C/ The Third constitution 1957…)( Constitution of Carthage)Therefore this treaty is considered Null and Void.
