Scrap Chagos Islands deal and agree new one, UN panel urges UK

A UN panel has urged the UK to scrap the recent deal returning the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, stating it does not adequately protect the rights of the Chagossian people. The agreement allows the UK to maintain a military base on Diego Garcia, preventing the Chagossians from returning to their ancestral land. The panel called for a new deal to be negotiated to ensure the Chagossians' right to return is respected.
