evidence: In 2021, a Special Chamber of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS), addressing a dispute between Mauritius and the Maldives concerning their maritime boundary, found that "[t]he determinations made by the ICJ with respect to the issues of the decolonization of Mauritius in the Chagos advisory opinion have legal effect and clear implications for the legal status of the Chagos Archipelago," and that "[t]he United Kingdom’s continued claim to sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago is contrary to those determinations."[235] Also, in 2021 the Universal Postal Union voted to recognize Chagos as part of Mauritius, not a British overseas territory.[236]
