KE AUPUNI UPDATE - OCTOBER 2024
The Chagos-Hawaii Connection
An international case we have been tracking for years is the dispute between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Mauritius over the Chagos Islands. It has a parallel to our dispute with the United States… the manipulation of the United Nations’ decolonization process by the “administrative power” (the colonial or occupying nation) to manufacture an outcome in its favor.
The Chagos Islands is an archipelago that was part of Mauritius, a colony of the UK in the Indian Ocean. When Mauritius gained its independence in 1968 and became the Republic of Mauritius, the UK arbitrarily withheld the Chagos Islands from the new nation saying it was needed for defense purposes. The UK forcibly evacuated the inhabitants (a couple of thousand people) from all the Chagos Islands, then leased the largest island, Diego Garcia, to the United States.
The US then built a huge Air Force base on Diego Garcia to assert the United States’ military power in the region, especially in the Middle East. Thus, Diego Garcia was the key forward base for the US Air Force in the Gulf War, the Iraqi War, the Afghan War, the war against al-Qaeda, the war against Isis, and numerous other conflicts in the region. And so it remains…
After years, of complaining to the UK and international bodies such as the UN about the illegal withholding of the Chagos Islands from their nation, Mauritius filed a complaint with the International Court of Justice (the ICJ) located at The Hague, Netherlands, asking for an Advisory Opinion from the ICJ regarding the matter.
In 2019 a landmark decision, the ICJ opined that the withholding of the Chagos Islands from the Republic of Mauritius, was in violation of the UN’s decolonization procedure and illegal. The ICJ said the United Kingdom had an international obligation to return the Chagos Islands to Mauritius.
When that news broke there was much celebration in Mauritius and among the Chagos descendants living in exile, and those of us hoping for this just and favorable outcome. But the UK made it known it considered the ICJ Opinion as non-binding, and it was not going to return Chagos to Mauritius.
This brings up a primary weakness of the International Court of Justice and the World Court system. Many of their rulings are either non-binding or unenforceable. Thus, countries, especially powerful ones, simply ignore rulings they think are bothersome.
It looked like this was going to be one of those times. But, amazingly, in August 2024, five years after the ICJ opinion, to their credit, the UK announced in that it would indeed return the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. Apparently, an agreement was reached to allow the UK/US base at Diego Garcia to remain. And plans are being made for Chagosians to return.
What is significant to us in Hawaii, is that the Chagos case was successfully resolved, setting a clear precedence for correcting an error made in a botched UN decolonization process. Thus, because Hawaii’s case is also one of a botched UN decolonization process (the “Statehood Plebiscite”) we could leverage this international precedence to resolve our situation as well.
And so could Alaska… and perhaps, West Papua.

SOLVING HAWAI`IʻS HOUSING CRISIS ON “VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`IʻS FUTURE"
"Fixing Hawai`iʻs Housing Crisis - A Visit With Peter Savio"
Many decades ago Singaporeʻs leaders arrived on an official visit to discover how Hawai`i had become so successful achieving a high rate of residential home ownership at very affordable prices. These officials were so impressed they took Hawai`iʻs model back home, replicated it and today Singapore is a very prosperous and wealthy nation. Yet today in Hawai`i homes are unaffordable, many Hawaiians and others have moved away and the ones still here are renters who work multiple jobs just to make ends meet. To find out why, we spent the day with real estate developer Peter Savio. Peter lost no time in explaining to us where Hawai`i went wrong and how it can be fixed. He should know because as Hawai`iʻs only affordable housing real estate developer his goal is to put Hawai`iʻs residents into home ownership. Donʻt miss our amazing visit with Peter as he explains how affordable housing can be built for Hawaiians and others, making residents financially independent instead of dependent - Watch It Here
