The UK decision to return the Chagos Islands is important to vindicate and reinforce our claim that MA63 was invalid. 

The ICJ found that the 1965 UK agreement with Mauritius was not binding because at the time Mauritius was still a colony under British control and was not an independent state with the legal capacity to make international agreements.  

Now that the UK has decided to obey the ICJ, people cannot argue that MA63 is not affected by the Chagos Islands Case.

英國歸還查戈斯群島的決定對於證明和強化我們關於 MA63 無效的主張非常重要。 

 國際法院認為，1965年英國與毛里求斯簽訂的協議不具約束力，因為當時毛里求斯仍是英國控制下的殖民地，並不是簽訂國際協議的法律能力的獨立國家。  

 既然英國決定服從國際法院，人們就不能說MA63不受查戈斯群島案的影響。
