In the most recent edition of the Quebec Journal of International Law (La Revue québécoise de droit international), the QJIL published an article entitled "LES DÉPLACÉS DES CHA GOS . RETOUR SUR LA LUTTE DE CES HABITANTS POUR RÉCUPÉRER LEUR TERRE ANCESTRALE" and written by Caecilia Alexandre & Professor Konstantia Koutouki. The following is the English abstract of the article:
This article gives us a complete overview of the little known story of the Chagos archipelago, a story which is vital to the understanding of why the former inhabitants of the archipelago are fighting so vigorously to return home following the installation of an Anglo-American military base on one of the archipelago’s islands, Diego Garcia and why their right to return is well-founded under national and international legal principles. This article also discusses the political context of the installation of the military base and how this impacts the options the Chagossians have on national and international levels to defend their rights.
