Abstract
The Chagossian people were illegally exiled from their homeland in the 1960s and 1970s. This paper argues that the decision of the UK Government in 2010 to establish a no-take marine protected area covering most of the Chagos archipelago was taken, at least in part, to ensure that the islands remained de-populated, and that, despite court rulings to the contrary, on a proper analysis this decision was likewise unlawful.
