The British colonial rule has never ended it still rule some country and island one of then is Chagos archipelago island. Archipelago is group of extensive island. It is located in British Indian ocean territory which is 500 KM from south of Maldives archipelago. So the dispute is raised by Mauritius as Mauritius gain it's independance in 1968 until then Chagos was part of Mauritius but during independence UK break the Mauritius island and and had a agreement that Chagos island will be under there control. So Mauritius claims that UK breach the UN resolution 1514 which specifically banned the division of colonies before independence.
So now Mauritius has taken this issue in International Court of Justice claiming thatt this island where there before independence. They won the case and go to UN where voting has been done for the Chagos island return to the Mauritius in 116 country vote against UK which they want UK to leave and return the island to Mauritius in which India was there and 6 country voted in favor of UK.
Now UK has given Chagos archipelago one of the main island Diego Garcia to it's friendly country USA on lease where USA has established there navy and airforce in Indian ocean.
