Republic of Mauritius- Chagos Archipelago depicted as Mauritian territory by new UNworld map

He expressed satisfaction as regards this major
development adding that this decision marks a major step forward in the fight
of the sovereignty of Mauritius over the Chagos Archipelago. He stated that
Government has asked other institutions such as World Atlas, Google and Apple
to make the necessary changes depicting the Chagos Archipelago as a territory
of Mauritius and not as the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT).  

The Prime Minister recalled that on 22 May 2019, the
United Nations General Assembly had adopted the Resolution stipulating that the
Chagos Archipelago forms an integral part of Mauritius by a record vote of 116
in favour and six against. The General Assembly had also asked the United Nations
and its institutions not to acknowledge the BIOT, created by the British in
1965 when they had illegally detached the Chagos Archipelago from Mauritius, he
added.​

Mr Jugnauth stressed that till date, the United Kingdom
is violating the international law and the fundamental principles of justice
and human rights since it is illegally occupying our territory. He also pointed
out that he is more determined than ever to continue the fight so that justice
prevails.
