Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 208 pages. After the Second World War, new international rules heralded an age of human rights and self-determination. Supported by Britain, these unprecedented changes sought to end the scourge of colonialism. But how committed was Britain? In the 1960s, its colonial instinct ignited once more: a secret decision was tak en to offer the US a base at Diego Garcia, one of the islands of the Chagos Arch ipelago in the Indian Ocean, create a new colony (the 'British Indian Ocean Terr itory') and deport the entire local population. One of those inhabitants was Lis eby Elysé, twenty years old, newly married, expecting her first child. One suit case, no pets, the British ordered, expelling her from the only home she had eve r known.For four decades the government of Mauritius fought for the retur n of Chagos, and the past decade Philippe Sands has been intimately involved in the cases. In 2018 Chagos and colonialism finally reached the World Court in The Hague. As Mauritius and the entire African continent challenged British and Ame rican lawlessness, fourteen international judges faced a landmark decision: woul d they rule that Britain illegally detached Chagos from Mauritius? Would they op en the door to Liseby Elysé and her fellow Chagossians returning home - or exil e them forever?Taking us on a disturbing journey across international law , THE LAST COLONY illuminates the continuing horrors of colonial rule, the devas tating impact of Britain's racist grip on its last colony in Africa, and the str uggle for justice in the face of a crime against humanity. It is a tale about th e making of modern international law and one woman's fight for justice, a courtr oom drama and a personal journey that ends with a historic ruling.
