The General Assembly adopted a resolution demanding an end to British control of the Chagos Archipelago and for the disputed islands to be handed back to Mauritius. The Prime Minister of Mauritus, Pravind Kumar Juqnauth, said, “the decolonization of Mauritius has not yet been completed and will not be completed until Mauritius is able to exercise sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago,” which the International Court of Justice (ICJ) found to be “an integral part of the territory of Mauritius.” UNIFEED
