Editorial annotation
General Assembly resolution welcoming the ICJ's 2019 advisory opinion and demanding that the UK withdraw its colonial administration from the Chagos Archipelago within six months, adopted 116-6 with 56 abstentions; this bundle reports the resolution's own terms and vote without independently adjudicating the underlying sovereignty question, which the UK and Mauritius continued to negotiate afterward.
