The covert expulsion of the Chagossians from their homeland in the years that followed has been described as 'unhappy - indeed, in many respects, disgraceful' (by one of the UK's most senior judges),2 'sordid' and 'morally indefensible' (by a former British Foreign Secretary),3 and 'shameful and wrong' (by counsel for the UK in the International Court of Justice)"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on March 02, 2021) Subject International Court of Justice.
