The General Assembly welcomed the International Court of Justice’s advisory opinion that the Chagos Archipelago’s decolonization had not been lawfully completed and called on the United Kingdom to withdraw its colonial administration within six months. Chagossians were forcibly removed from the islands to enable the military base. The resolution affirmed Mauritian sovereignty claims but did not itself provide individual compensation, a right of return or a Chagossian-led remedy.
