Mauritius' policy toward sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago: a pluralistic approach to international dispute settlement

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: With the continuous attention of the international community, Britain finally agreed on October 3, 2024, to return the sovereignty of the Chagos Archipelago to Mauritius after long-term mediation and efforts. Mauritius has adopted a pluralistic approach to international dispute resolution in its quest for sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago, which is likely to have expected implications for Small Powers and Great Powers. In addition to anticipating these impacts, this policy brief provides actionable recommendations on how Mauritius can facilitate the through implementation of the agreement in the interests of the Chagos Islanders.
