A new report from the Henry Jackson Society (HJS) blasts the government for “unwisely [ceding] sovereignty” with the Chagos sellout, pointing out that the spurious legal justification for handing over the Archipelago to Mauritius amounts to “lawfare“. Starmer is being bullied by politicised international institutions rather than any binding legal obligation… who knew?
The report highlights that the ‘UN Special Committee on Decolonization’ pushing the campaign counts China, Russia, Iran, Cuba and Venezuela among its members, and still classifies the Falkland Islands as requiring ‘decolonisation’. The report’s author, HJS Director of National Security Dr John Hemmings, explains:
“Britain has long supported international law and the rules-based order, but there is a growing danger that international institutions are being used as instruments of geopolitical pressure. The UK was never legally compelled to surrender the Chagos Islands, yet we appear to be treating an advisory opinion as though it overrides our own strategic judgment. Decisions about Britain’s security and sovereign territory should ultimately be made in London, not outsourced to politicised processes within the UN system.”
The HJS also calls for a referendum to allow the Chagossian people to determine their own future. Better that than having their land signed away by lawyers and potemkin ‘international institutions’. Save Chagos!
