British Claim To Chagos Islands Considered By World Court

Description

According to Reuters, the Hague is currently weighing Britain's claim to Chagos Islands. Mauritius has been appealing the case to judges at the World Court on Monday. It says Britain illegally stripped it of the Indian Ocean archipelago. The Islands are now home to a major U.S. air base. In 1965 Britain detached the Chagos Islands from its colony of Mauritius. Mauritius became independent three years later. The sparsely populated Chagos Islands, however, remained overseas British territory.
