The High Court in London refused on Tuesday to grant permission to initiate legal proceedings against the British Foreign Office over the agreement concluded between the United Kingdom and Mauritius regarding the Chagos Archipelago.
Three plaintiffs, including Bertrice Pompe, a British national born on Diego Garcia, challenged this agreement. They argued in particular that the British government had not consulted the Chagossians before reaching this arrangement with Mauritius. Bertrice Pompe had already tried, last May, to block this agreement in court, without success.
