answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2019 answer text <p>We remain disappointed that this matter was referred to the International Court of Justice and the UN General Assembly. We have no doubt about our sovereignty over the British Indian Ocean Territory, which has been under continuous British sovereignty since 1814. Mauritius has never held sovereignty over the Archipelago and we do not recognise its claim. We have, however, made a longstanding commitment to cede sovereignty of the territory to Mauritius when it is no longer required for defence purposes. We stand by that commitment.​</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 28/10/2019 16:58:52 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2019 answer text <p>We were disappointed that this matter was referred to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), contrary to the principle that the Court should not consider bilateral disputes without the consent of both States concerned. Nevertheless, the United Kingdom respects the ICJ and participated fully in the ICJ process at every stage and in good faith. An Advisory Opinion is advice provided to the UN General Assembly at its request; it is not a legally binding judgment. The British Government has considered the content of the Opinion carefully, however we do not share the Court’s approach.​</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 28/10/2019 15:47:47 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
