Foreign Office maintains deafening silence on Chagos Islands despite UN ruling Tuesday, 02 February 2021 5:56 PM
[ Last Update: Tuesday, 02 February 2021 6:51 PM ] The 3,000 plus Chagos islanders living in Britain are at the forefront of applying pressure on the UK to submit to the will of the international community by ending its occupation of their homeland
Five days after a legal body of the United Nations dismissed British claims of sovereignty over the Chagos Islands, the Foreign Office continues to avoid meaningful engagement on the issue.
The United Nation’s International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea ruled on January 28 that Mauritius has sole sovereignty over the Chagos Islands, thus delivering a fatal blow to the UK’s weak legal position.
