Which country postponed a legislative bill to return the Chagos Islands to Mauritius in April 2026?
United States
France
Australia
United Kingdom
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The United Kingdom delayed the legislative process to transfer sovereignty of the Chagos Archipelago to Mauritius due to geopolitical concerns and lack of support from the United States. The proposed agreement included transferring full sovereignty while maintaining a 99-year lease of Diego Garcia for continued military use by the US and UK. The delay also reflects broader strategic considerations in the Indian Ocean region. Historically, the UK has controlled the islands since 1814, and the issue has been subject to international legal scrutiny, including a 2019 advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice urging decolonisation.
