The 2019 Chagos Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice is a significant decision on the right to self-determination and decolonization. It examines the Court's reasoning, its importance for the international system, and its consequences for the Chagos Archipelago. It reflects a broader shift in North/South relations, where formerly dominant powers like the UK must accept their waning influence and former colonies' voices shape the institutional and normative landscape.

The 2019 Chagos Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) holds immense legal and political significance. Given the rare opportunity to address the right to self-determination and the principles governing decolonization, the ICJ delivered a resolute response. This book explores the Court's reasoning, the significance of its decision for the international system, and its implications for the Chagos Archipelago, particularly. Beyond bringing the Chagossians closer to the potential of returning to the islands from which they were covertly expelled half a century ago, the decision and its political context can be seen as part of a broader shift in North/South relations. Formerly dominant powers like the UK must confront their diminishing influence on the global stage, while the voices of former colonies are gaining increasing prominence in shaping the institutional and normative landscape.
