The United Kingdom and Mauritius signed an agreement providing for Mauritian sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago and continued UK-US operation of the Diego Garcia base under a long-term lease. The agreement includes UK funding for a trust intended to support Chagossians. It addresses a colonial sovereignty dispute, but Chagossian participation, return and community-defined redress remain central questions; a state-to-state agreement cannot be assumed to settle them.
