Chagos Marine Protected Area - Mauritius takes UK to UN Law of Sea Tribunal
At a press conference in Mauritius yesterday, the Prime Minister
Ramgoolam announced that Mauritius has informed the UK Foreign
Secretary, William Hague, that it has begun proceedings before the
International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea. Mauritius is seeking a
legally binding declaration on the Chagos Marine Protected Area, which
it believes is incompatible with the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea
(UNCLOS).
