Abstract

The article discusses the British government's decision to return sovereignty over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, following the displacement of the Chagossians between 1965 and 1973. While most of the islands will be relinquished, Diego Garcia, home to a US military base, will remain under UK control for 99 years. The Chagossians, who were forcibly removed from their homeland, express disappointment at being excluded from the negotiations and the lack of consultation regarding their right to self-determination.
