LAST week, the government ignored a deadline to give up control of the Chagos Islands.
In response, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said: “It’s clear that in refusing to return the Chagos Islands to Mauritius and defying the UN general assembly and International Court of Justice (ICJ), this Conservative government shamefully considers itself to be above international law.”
As Jeremy also said in a letter to Boris Johnson this week on the matter, outlining his stance on this issue in more detail, the government’s stance will “set the UK against the entire continent of Africa, and dozens of countries from all continents which supported Mauritius at the [UN] general assembly and before the court [the ICJ], including India, Brazil and many Commonwealth countries.”
