Research Topic: Disputing Diego Garcia: how Mauritius used strategic litigation to redefine the decolonisation debate

该项目分析了使斯里兰卡政府能够要求国际法院审讯印度洋非殖民化进程的情况的冲突。它探讨了反殖民抵抗的反殖民主义叙事如何形成和改革，以应对印度独立和冷战的竞争，一方面，国内政治趋势和诉讼的公式化要求。我在国际法的发展和联合国在区域政治中的作用的背景下评估这些说法。

This project analyses the collision of circumstances that enabled the Mauritian government to request that the International Court of Justice interrogate processes of decolonisation in the Indian Ocean. It explores how Mauritian narratives of anti-colonial resistance formed and reformed in response to Indian independence and Cold War rivalries on the one hand, and domestic political trends and the formulistic requirements of litigation on the other. I assess these narratives against a backdrop of developments in international law and the role of the United Nations in regional politics.
