Motion to probe Maldives stand switch over Chagos dispute

Following the stand shift by Maldives government regarding Chagos Islands dispute, an urgent motion has been filed by Dhangethi MP Mohamed Nazim to probe change of foreign policies.

After Mauritius filed at the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) regarding the continental shelf issue, Maldives maintained its stance asserting Mauritius had no claim in the case. The reason it showed, was that the Chagos Islands fell under British Marine Protected Area, and was part of its colony.
