Mauritians protest against Britain s disturbing violations of international law compelling London to return Chagos Islands back to Mauritius
from
PORT LOUIS,
(CAJ News) – THE United Kingdom’s announcement of plans to enhance its footprint in the Indo-Pacific is a blatant reminder of its defiance of international court orders to return the Chagos Islands to its rightful owner, Mauritius.
However, indications are that this disobedience could escalate into a diplomatic tangle with India, a country that has emerged as one of the key partners of the Indian Ocean island nation.
In March, as part of a planned revamp of its foreign, trade and defence policy, the UK announced an Indo-Pacific strategy, for the geographic concept that spans two regions of the Indian and the Pacific Oceans.

betting odds
We frequently get this wrong. A brief explanation: long odds (eg 100-1 against, normally expressed as 100-1) mean something unlikely; shorter odds (eg 10-1) still mean it’s unlikely, but less unlikely; odds on (eg 2-1 on, sometimes expressed as 1-2) means it is likely, so if you were betting £2 you would win only £1 plus the stake.
Take care using the phrase “odds on”: if Labour is quoted by bookmakers at 3-1 to win a byelection, and the odds are cut to 2-1, it is wrong to say “the odds on Labour to win were cut last night” – in fact, the odds against Labour to win have been cut (the shorter the price, the more likely something is expected to happen).
