Declaration of Grande Rivière on ChagosThe Conference on Diego Garcia & Chagos held at Grande Riviere, Port Louis,Mauritius, bringing together 150 participants from 30 October to 2 November 2010,reached consensus that we will keep the following struggles firmly bound together,never bartering one against the other:- the struggle for the complete decolonization of the Republic of Mauritius, thedismantling of the British Indian Ocean Territories colony, and the re-unification ofthe country,- the struggle for the closing down of the US military base on Diego Garcia, andits ecological clean-up by the US,- the struggle for the right of return and full reparations for all Chagossians,And that to advance these aims, and given that there are some actions that canbe set in motion only by the State of Mauritius,we commit ourselves to putting pressure on the Mauritian State towards its actingin practice so as:-To organize a formal State visit on the Trochetia ship to Diego Garcia and thewhole of Chagos, which is part of Mauritian territory defined as such by theConstitution, and that the State delegation should include the President of theRepublic, the Prime Minister, and the Leader of the Opposition;-To enter a case in the UN International Court of Justice at the Hague throughat once inscribing a Resolution to this precise effect on the agenda for the nextUN General Assembly due in 2011, and continuing to ensure that the Resolutionis not later withdrawn from the agenda;-To make a formal demand for UN inspections under the Pelindaba Treaty, assoon as the mechanism for doing so comes into force later this year,-To use all other UN bodies and procedures possible for actions that indicate aclear statement of Mauritian sovereignty over Chagos, and that expose the dangerthe military base represents.And, at the same time, in the context of the present debate on electoral reformand Constitutional amendment, and in response to imperialist and private capitalistinterests clearly targeting Mauritian Islands and land, to work towards giving concreteexpression to the Chagossians’ participation in the democratic set-up of the country;and to amend the Constitution so as to outlaw the setting up of any military baseson any Mauritian territory in future;That we will work towards the setting up of a Scientific Centre that gatherstestimony about Chagos, collects documentation on Chagos, so that the historyand culture of Chagos are kept alive;And that, in the context of these demands, we call on the President of the Republic,the last living witness to the pre-Independence negotiations held at Lancaster Houseto come forward to give public testimony;And that in order to advance the three causes stated just following the firstparagraph above, as well as the specific demands then enumerated in thisDeclaration, we commit ourselves to building up broad support on a national andinternational level,And we delegate six people, the undersigned, to present this Declaration of GrandeRivière to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and also to make the Declaration public.3 November, 2010.9

Below is aDraft Program to give you anidea of the participants, speakersand subjects due to becovered, and what we arerequesting from you.“We write to ask whether youwould agree to preside over a“workshop” on the part of thehistory of the struggle onChagos and Diego representedby the “Komite Ilwa OF” –telling about what the organizingwork was like at the time,and then perhaps relating thecontribution made by thisorganization (now Les VertsFraternel) to the present, andeven a glance at the future. Wealso invite your organizationcordially to delegate up to fivemembers to follow the whole(or any part) of the Conference,so that your organizationcan benefit from the variousdifferent international andlocal speakers. We will bearranging (or I should say, weare already making homemadearrangements for it)53interpretation. (Later we willappeal to people coming tobring little radios with FMbands and earphones, so theycan tune in to the MauritianKreol version of visitors’speeches and comments.)“The Diego Garcia militarybase issue is firmly on theworld political agenda in2010. The British ‘lease’ to theUS of the stolen Islands comesup for renewal in the 2014-16period, that is to say the newlyelected British and Mauritiangovernments will be underenormous pressure from theUS, respectively, as well asbeing subservient in their ownnames. As if in preparation forproblems ahead, the BritishGovernment has gone aheadand declared a “MarineProtected Area” around theMauritian Islands it illegallyoccupies, and has successfullyconned many large environmentalorganizations intosupporting this outrageousscheme. In October, theEuropean Union HumanRights Court is to hear theappeal for the Chagossiansright to return against theBritish Government, whichhas recently announced it willfight the appeal tooth and nail.Last year the British Governmentwas finally forced tochange its story and to admitthat there had been illegalrenditions on Diego Garcia inthe supposed war on terror.The UN Treaty for an AfricaFree of Nuclear Arms(Pelindaba Treaty) which hascome into force as from lastyear has opened up a chancefor the Mauritian Governmentto call for UN IAEA inspections.This month the USSEmory has arrived in DiegoGarcia to service the nuclear

submarines there. All thesereasons explain why LALIThas chosen to hold theConference now. This is whywe would very much appreciateit if you could send usa message of support. Thisstruggle, like all others,depends on the balance offorces and every bit of supportchanges this. This is more thanever true in times of greateconomic turmoil, whencapitalism is particularlyunstable.“This particular question, theDiego Garcia one, refuses toleave the agenda, howevermuch the US and UK havetried to keep it out of sight. Itis a question that seems todraw together so many themesand struggles, and tointerconnect them: decolonization,anti-militarism, antinuclear,the environment andecological issues, the women’sstruggle (women have been atthe forefront of this struggle inMauritius for decades), theanti-war movement as awhole, the “No Bases movement”,anti-imperialism, andof course, all the economicissues that underpin all of this.“Salitasyon amikal,“Esperan u pu kapav vini epartisipe, e petet avoy enndelegasyon,”Lindsey Collen,“pu LALITJabaljas ek BulbakJabaljas: To finn tande,Bulbak.

Crisis Bites & Historic Bloc WobblesThe Mauritian economy, tiedin to world capitalism since theformation of the countryduring colonization, has beenrelatively resilient to the worldeconomic crisis, but hassuffered from its own “systemiccrisis”, and this,followed by the recent fall inthe value of the Euro, can beexpected to hit hard.Finance Minister MSM’sPravind Jugnauth’s recentBudget has done nothing toaddress the systemic crisis inthe Mauritian economy, withthe fall of sugar and textiles,nor to address the sensitivityof the Mauritian economy to alooming new food crisis, anongoing energy crisis, and riskof ecological dangers of allkinds. (See our comments onthe Budget in this Revi Lalit).And the systemic crisis, asit worsens, will also, by itsnature, threaten the longstanding“historic bloc” thathas ruled for over 60 years. Infact, since the May GeneralElection in particular, a new“bloc historique” is trying tohappen right now before ourvery eyes, in 2010. And thisprocess will continue over thenext few years. This, even asLALIT challenges it.Under bourgeois democraticregimes, capitalism does not,in general, manage to reignover us for any length of timewithout cobbling togethersome kind of “bloc historique”that includes a number ofclasses and parts of classes allin one big political “consensus”,and in Mauritius thishas always been concotedaround the sugar industry, andhas, for the past 60 years sincethere have been mass politicsin the country, nearly alwaysbeen formed around theLabour Party.The historic bloc is whatassures the hegemony of theruling class. The particularform that the “bloc” has takenin Mauritius is not surprisingbecause the sugar industry wasno less than the raison d’etrefor the country, while theLabour Party is the one thathas been in power almost allthe time, over the past 60years. And still is.The new “bloc historique”being formed now is noexception. If they succeed incobbling it together, it will bemulti-class in its nature and yetit will rule, in the final analysis,in the interests ofcapitalism, and the capitalistclass. The consensus uponwhich the “bloc historique” isbuilt, takes place once againaround the sugar cane industry,but this time around the caneindustry rather than the sugarindustry, and the touristindustry will need to becobbled in.The formation of this newhistorical bloc has come at atime when the MSPA sugarbosses are in grave difficulty,what with the combined 36%decrease in sugar prices andthe 18% decrease in the value63of the Euro while they convertfrom being a “sugar industry”to being a “cane industry”. Notthat LALIT has not beentelling them this wouldhappen. The industry has alsodestroyed 45,000 jobs whichcould have been convertedinto other agro-industrial jobs,so the “victory” of the 20%wage increase had tragic roots.The BDO consultants’ midtermreview of the Multi-Annual Adaptation Strategyconfirms, for what it is worth,that the new cane industry is“not viable” on its presenttrack. In addition to thepredicted abysmal price ofsugar, there is the question ofthe quantity of cane beingproduced. Many small plantershave just abandoned theirland, while the estates havedestroyed agricultural land intheir IRS and other real estateprojects, and there does notseem to be much hope of eachof the 4 remaining sugar millunits in future being able toscrape together enough canefor the 100,000 tons of sugarthey need to produce to breakeven. The target of 520,000tons has been brought down inthe short run to 450,000. At thesame time, the cash flowproblems that the IntegratedResort Scheme “windfallgains” were supposed to solve,have persisted as thesemillionaire land sales havefallen, more sharply under theimpetus of the crisis that hasstruck Europe. The ethanol

part of the “cane industry” hasnot got off the ground at all.And uncertainty about theprice of energy has meant theIPPs are also still awaitingcontracts. Various currents inGovernment intend to rescindthe existing contracts, considered,rightly, too favourableto the millers.So, instead of calling on theworking class to support themobilization campaign for ashift in the economy awayfrom cane, and for mobilizationof the working class toforce the State to use theEuropean compensation moneyin order to oblige theoligarchs to move towardsmassive agri-cultural diversificationand job creation notdestruction, we can expect thebureaucratic leadership of thetrade unions, recently seenbeing co-opted into theHistorical Bloc, to continue topromise workers’ support tothe millers and their new “caneindustry”, while sometimeseven allying politically withthe Labour establishment,represented now by backbencherNeeta Deerpalsing,now by her colleague PatrickAssirvaden, now by theLabour nominee Prof. Torul,now by Minister of LabourShakeel Mohamed, now byNavin Ramgoolam himself,against the millers. WhenLabour is too unpopular, as itis now just after the Budget,then they will play into thehands, no doubt, of the MMM.This is the opportunism ofordinary bour-geois politics.The usual Labour Party andMMM tactic-and-strategyrolled up into one. And theusual trade union political andbureaucratic collaboration.At the same time as all this“rapprochement” before theBudget of many trade unionleaders with the Labourestablish-ment which is inpower, a series of attacksagainst the trade unionmovement had taking placeboth in the private sector underthe new repressive laws labourbrought in and, particularly, inthe parastatals run by Labournominees. Even when therewas (and still is) a union leadersuspended at the MBC andwhen there are other unionofficials suspended at AirMauritius, even when the newEmployment Relations Act andthe Employment Rights Acthad changed the balance ofclass forces decidedly in favourof the bosses, especiallyby facilitating sackings, theUnions still vied to take partin the National TripartiteForum, which only at the veryend they turned their back on.What we are, in fact, seeingis a new “New SocialConsensus” that will lead to anew “Bloc Historique” beingformed to assure bourgeoisrule in the post-sugar epoch.However, workers are lessmobilized than when PaulBérenger formed his “NewSocial Consensus” in 1981.He, Bérenger, had to get his“New Social Consensus”accepted through open debate.Whereas today unions gettheirs, hoping no-one willnotice or point out what isactually taking place. They aremanaging their consensus withthe bosses and State not byopen political debate but by,instead, often depolitic-isingthe union movement evenfurther, moving into the purelyunion, purely “social” sphere,away from politics which is,64by definition, open anddebated publicly.It is equally not strange thatthe “historical bloc” changesits form in different momentsin history. Let us look at itspast forms.For the early years, fromwhen the Labour party wastaken over by the jointoperation of Advance (representingbig planters, tradersand professionals) andL’Express (representing anurban bour-geoisie andprofessionals, etc), theHistoric Bloc was built up toconsist of:- a small section of the sugarmillers (Dédé Maingard,Emile Series, Messrs Leclezioand Claude Noel),- the big planters (representedby Ramgoolam andSatcam Boolell, who wasoften Minister of Agriculture)- an urban bourgeoisie thatgathered around L’Express- an urban and rural bourgeoisieand petty bourgeoisiegathering around Advance- Thousands of small caneplanters, who were LabourParty agents,- Most of the working class,still in the Labour Party fromits working class roots, at thetime.The Labour Party then,almost continually, allied itselfwith the PMSD which openlyrepresented the sugar oligarchypolitically, thusstabilizing the “historicalbloc” more thoroughly.Seewoosagur Ramgoolamjust threw Gaetan Duval outbefore elections, much likeRamgoolam threw out ex-Finance Minister Sithanen,who had represented the sugaroligarch’s interests since 2005.And the MMM has moved so

far to the right, that it is nowpositioning itself to move in asprotector of the interests of theoligarchy itself.However, long ago, whenthe MMM was comingtowards its decisive challengefor State power, in 1980, itquickly cobbled together thesame kind of alliances, butreflecting its different history.Already having most of theworking class firmly with itfrom its early struggle years,already having the very smallplanters in the MauritiusPlanters’ Association ofJugdish Gobhurdhun newlywith them, the MMM thenoffered a “New Social Consensus”to the millers, offeringthem a greater voice thanLabour ever gave them (nodoubt because it had suchworking class support), as wellas giving 18 tickets to HarishBoodhoo, who represented bigplanters. Instead of L’Expressbehind them, they had the LeMauricien/Week-End group.This New Social Consensus,together with the alliancewith Harish Boodhoo, waswhy LALIT left the MMM inthe April 1982 split. So, by thetime the MMM came to powerlater that same year, it had itsown “Historical Bloc” notonly with the bourgoiesie in it,but actually characterised bygiving more (symbolised inthe Rs 57 million) to the sugaroligarchs than Labour everdid.This “big share to theoligarchs” is until now theparticularity of the MMM’s“historic bloc”.However, when the MMMdid give the millers more thanbefore, by March 1983, theparty became unstable.Too much was being concededto the sugar oligarchy.So, this, more than anythingprecipitated the “kasir” in1983.The PSM and half of theMMM then patched togetherthe MSM, which keptGovernment, and organized itsown MSM-style “historicalbloc”. The MSM had and stillhas its own, more Bonapartist,approach, ruling often moreovertly against the sugarbosses, attacking the sugaroligarchs, threatening thesanctity of private ownershipof the means of production andeven amending the Constitutionto permit nationalizationof private enterprises,while at one point going so faras to threaten the sugaroligarchs with letting sugarestate workers loose on themwhile locking the SMF up inthe Casernes Centrales – ifthey don’t watch it. The MSMmanaged this by a more openlycommunalist regime, and byallying with the fast-growingtextile bosses and the hugeretail industry, and by maintainingfood subsidies and freeeducation, even when theMMM had ceded because theIMF and World Bank werepushing very hard to makethem fee-paying. The MSMwas, in the 1983 and 1987elections, in an alliance withthe PMSD, although GaetanDuval was thrown out evenmore royally than by SeewoosagurRamgoolam: he wascharged, at one point, withgiving instructions to kill.Aneerood Jugnauth alsoattacked the working class andunions openly when there wascontestation. However, inobjective terms, the MSM,too, symbolized by PravindJugnauth’s pride in the VRSschemes, paved the way for65the continued rule of the sugaroligarchy, now helping convertit to a cane oligarchy. Andnow, today, as Finance Ministerin a Labour Government.So basically, the “historicalbloc” remains more-or-less thesame all along. It rules in thesame interests. Its particularnature depends largely on howmuch opposition, and of thenature of this opposition, to it,and not just on its ownstrengths.Today, unionists are, justlike Shawkatally Soodun andAlain Laridon before them, orlike Bidianand Jhurry beforethem, or like Ramnarain andJugdambi before them, joininginto the historic bloc, on an onand-offbasis. They represent,at the present time, anincreasingly less mobilizedworking class within the rulingbloc, within the ruling consensus.But this ruling “bloc”is, of course, capitalist rule,anyway.It is this continued rulewhich allows the continuedbanishment of human beingsfrom the very Mother Earththat nourishes us, and thecontinuing expropriation ofthe fruit of previous and presentgenerations of workingpeople through the privateaccumulation of social capital,the continuous separation ofnatural beings from our ownhands and minds in theexpropriation of our own timeas humans beings on this earth.LALIT, of course, works fora different kind of politicalorganization of the workingclass, which is independent ofthe bourgeois parties, thebourgeois State, and thebourgeoisie – not in consensuswith them, not part of theirhistoric bloc. In addition, we

say what we mean, and meanwhat we say.These are times of gravesystemic crisis.The sugar industry isthreatened, as is the caneindustry. They have destroyedemployment, and are nowdestroying the capital the EUpaid as compensation. Theworld capitalist system has afinancial sector which is stillin ICU, after its collapse 2-3years ago, even according tobourgeois economists. Thefood crisis and oil crisis aremerely in temporary abatement.The ecological threathangs over us. The Euro is inever-deeper crisis.We need to go to the heartof the problem: develop aprogram which envisages andshows the road map to a neweconomic system that hasthree or four main features:It works towards:-An end to the expropriationof mother earth’s land byprivate money, and a movetowards the democratic controlof land, water, sea andspace.-An end to the metabolic riftthat sunders the riches ofagricultural land by, amongstother things, separating theurban from the rural, thusdepleting the soil, and creatingwaste-disposal problems.-An end to the fracturewithin human nature – wherebyour time is bought and soldby a minority of private wageslavedealers.-An end to the expropriationof the product of our labour,expropriation by a minority ofprivate pirates.In short, towards the end ofclass rule, the left-over after100 years of everyone workingunder the labour legislation of"Zapata, your glory will be eternal", desin par Goya c. 1810“slavery”, a further 100 yearswhere everyone worked underthe labour legislation ofindenture, and the next 100years where we work underwage slavery.To do this, we need a politicalstruggle, with politicaldemands that workers increasinglymobilize behind. HenceLALIT’s demands like “Bizinplant manze lor laterTablisman”, faced with thefood crisis. Or “Bizin servilarzan Lerop pu kree travay padetrir travay”, instead ofaccepting sackings and negotiatingVRS and Blueprintmoney. We need politicaldemands like “Bizin devizreturn ar Labank Santral pudiminye depresyasyon Rupi”,to prevent the capitalistsbringing about the gradualdepreciation of the rupee.It is not enough to support atrade union struggle, notablyone that is always being drawninto consensus. What we needis political struggle. Independentpolitical struggle, with theworking class in the vanguard.A working class strugglebehind political forces with aprogram for working classpower, political forces independentof any organizationsthat defend other classes. Thestruggle is against thecapitalism, and against thebourgeois State that maintainsthis dangerous fragmentationof society into classes. So, thefirst thing we have to study iswhat the bourgeois State is.And to avoid becoming part ofit or of its “historical bloc” thatrules.PS The concept of the “historic bloc”was developed by Antonio Gramsci inhis Prison Notebooks, and is the politicalmeans by means of which the capitalistclass maintains hegemony. A systemiccrisis is a crisis that threatens to shakeand destroy the “historic bloc”. BothGramsci and Lenin made immensecontributions to Marxist understandingof politics and the economy, by showing,in two different ways, how the rulingclass hegemony in fact can get anddoes sometimes get broken, paving theway to revolutionary change.66

C O N F I D E N T I A L LONDON 0011561. (C/NF) Summary. HMG would like toestablish a “marine park” or “reserve”providing comprehensive environmentalprotection to the reefs and waters of theBritish Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT), asenior Foreign and Commonwealth Office(FCO) official informed Polcouns on May 12.The official insisted that the establishment ofa marine park -- the world’s largest -- wouldin no way impinge on USG use of the BIOT,including Diego Garcia, for militarypurposes. He agreed that the UK and U.S.should carefully negotiate the details of themarine reserve to assure that U.S. interestswere safeguarded and the strategic value ofBIOT was upheld. He said that the BIOT’sformer inhabitants would find it difficult, if notimpossible, to pursue their claim forresettlement on the islands if the entireChagos Archipelago were a marine reserve.End Summary.Protecting the BIOT’s Waters2. (C/NF) Senior HMG officials support theestablishment of a “marine park” or “reserve”in the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT),which includes Diego Garcia, Colin Roberts,the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s(FCO) Director, Overseas Territories, toldthe Political Counselor May 12. Noting thatthe uninhabited islands of the ChagosArchipelago are already protected underBritish law from development or otherenvironmental harm but that current Britishlaw does not provide protected status foreither reefs or waters, Roberts affirmed thatthe bruited proposal would only concern the“exclusive zone” around the islands. Theresulting protected area would constitute“the largest marine reserve in the world.”3. (C/NF) Roberts iterated strong UK“political support” for a marine park;“Ministers like the idea,” he said. Hestressed that HMG’s “timeline” forestablishing the park was before the nextgeneral elections, which under British lawmust occur no later than May 2010. Hesuggested that the exact terms of theproposals could be defined and presented atthe U.S.-UK annual political-militaryconsultations held in late summer /early fall2009 (exact date TBD). If the USG wouldSUBJECT: HMG FLOATS PROPOSAL FOR MARINE RESERVECOVERING THE CHAGOS ARCHIPELAGO (BRITISH INDIAN OCEAN TERRITORY)Classified By: Political Counselor Richard Mills for reasons 1.4 b and dlike to discuss the issue prior to those talks,HMG would be open for discussion throughother channels -- in any case, the FCOwould keep Embassy London informed ofdevelopment of the idea and next steps. TheUK would like to “move forward discussionwith key international stakeholders” by theend of 2009. He said that HMG had notedthe success of U.S. marine sanctuaries inHawaii and the Marianas Trench. (Note:Roberts was referring to thePapahanaumokuakea Marine NationalMonument and Marianas Trench MarineNational Monument. End Note.) He assertedthat the Pew Charitable Trust, which hasproposed a BIOT marine reserve, is fundinga public relations campaign in sup-port ofthe idea. He noted that the trust had backedthe Hawaiian reserve and is well-re-gardedwithin British governmental circles & thelarger British environmental community.Three Sine Qua Nons: U.S. Assent...4. (C/NF) According to Roberts, three preconditionsmust be met before HMG couldestablish a park. First, “we need to makesure the U.S. government is comfortablewith the idea. We would need to present thisproposal very clearly to the Americanadministration...All we do should enhancebase security or leave it unchanged.”Polcouns expressed appreciation for this apriori commitment, but stressed that the1966 U.S.-UK Exchange of Notesconcerning the BIOT would, in any event,require U.S. assent to any significantchange of the BIOT’s status that couldimpact the BIOT’s strategic use. Robertsstressed that the proposal “would have noimpact on how Diego Garcia is administeredas a base.” In response to a request forclarification on this point from Polcouns,Roberts asserted that the proposal wouldhave absolutely no impact on the right ofU.S. or British military vessels to use theBIOT for passage, anchorage, prepositioning,or other uses. Polcouns rejoined thatdesignating the BIOT as a marine parkcould, years down the road, create publicquestioning about the suitability of the BIOTfor military purposes. Roberts respondedthat the terms of reference for theestablishment of a marine park would clearlystate that the BIOT, including Diego Garcia,was reserved for military uses.5. (C/NF) Ashley Smith, the Ministry ofDefense’s (MOD) International Policy andPlanning Assistant Head, Asia Pacific, whoalso participated in the meeting, affirmedthat the MOD “shares the same concerns asthe U.S. regarding security” and wouldensure that security concerns were fully andproperly addressed in any proposal for amarine park. Roberts agreed, stating that“the primary purpose of the BIOT is security”but that HMG could also addressenvironmental concerns in its administrationof the BIOT. Smith added that theestablishment of a marine reserve had thepotential to be a “win-win situation in termsof establishing situational awareness” of theBIOT. He stressed that HMG sought “noconstraints on military operations” as aresult of the establishment of a marine park....Mauritian Assent...6. (C/NF) Roberts outlined two otherprerequisites for establishment of a marinepark. HMG would seek assent from theGovernment of Mauritius, which disputessovereignty over the Chagos archipelago, inorder to avoid the GOM “raising complaintswith the UN.” He asserted that the GOM hadexpressed little interest in protecting thearchipelago’s sensitive environment andwas primarily interested in the archipelago’seconomic potential as a fishery. Robertsnoted that in January 2009 HMG held thefirst-ever “formal talks” with Mauritiusregarding the BIOT. The talks included theMauritian Prime Minister. Roberts said thathe “cast a fly in the talks over how we couldimprove stewardship of the territory,” but theMauritian participants “were not focused onenvironmental issues & expressed interestonly in fishery control.” He said that oneMauritian participant in the talks complainedthat the Indian Ocean is “the only oceanin the world where the fish die of old age.”In HMG’s view, the marine park conceptaims to “go beyond economic value andconsider bio-diversity and intangible values.”(Continued on inside back cover)

...Chagossian Assent7. (C/NF) Roberts acknowledged that “weneed to find a way to get through the variousChagossian lobbies.” He admitted that HMGis “under pressure” from the Chagossiansand their advocates to permit resettlement ofthe “outer islands” of the BIOT. He noted,without providing details, that “there areproposals (for a marine park) that couldprovide the Chagossians warden jobs”within the BIOT. However, Roberts statedthat, according to the HGM,s currentthinking on a reserve, there would be “nohuman footprints” or “Man Fridays” on theBIOT’s uninhabited islands. He asserted thatestablishing a marine park would, in effect,put paid to resettlement claims of thearchipelago’s former residents. Respondingto Polcouns’ observation that the advocatesof Chagossian resettlement continue tovigorously press their case, Roberts opinedthat the UK’s “environmental lobby is farmore powerful than the Chagossians’advocates.” (Note: One group ofChagossian litigants is appealing to theEuropean Court of Human Rights (ECHR)the decision of Britain’s highest court todeny “resettlement rights” to the islands’former inhabitants. See below at paragraph13 and reftel. End Note.)Je Ne Regrette Rien8. (C/NF) Roberts observed that BIOT has“served its role very well,” advancing sharedU.S.-UK strategic security objectives for thepast several decades. The BIOT “has had agreat role in assuring the security of the UKand U.S. -- much more than anyoneforesaw” in the 1960s, Roberts emphasized.“We do not regret the removal of thepopulation,” since removal was necessaryfor the BIOT to fulfill its strategic purpose, hesaid. Removal of the population is thereason that the BIOT’s uninhabited islandsand the surrounding waters are in “pristine”condition. Roberts added that DiegoGarcia’s excellent condition reflects theresponsible stewardship of the U.S. & UKforces using it.Administering a Reserve9. (C/NF) Roberts acknowledged thatnumerous technical questions needed to beresolved regarding the establishment andadministration of a marine park, although hedescribed the governmental “act” ofdeclaring a marine park as a relativelystraightforward and rapid process. He notedthat the establishment of a marine reservewould require permitting scientists to visitBIOT, but that creating a park would helprestrict access for non-scientific purposes.For example, he continued, the rulesgoverning the park could strictly limit accessto BIOT by yachts, which Roberts referred toas “sea gypsies.”BIOT: More Than Just Diego Garcia10. (C/NF) Following the meeting withRoberts, Joanne Yeadon, Head of theFCO’s Overseas Territories Directorate’sBIOT and Pitcairn Section, who alsoattended the meeting with Polcouns, toldPoloff that the marine park proposal would“not impact the base on Diego Garcia in anyway” and would have no impact on theparameters of the U.S.-UK 1966 exchangeof notes since the marine park would “haveno impact on defense purposes.” Yeadonaverred that the provision of the UNConvention on the Law of the Seaguaranteed free passage of vessels,including military vessels, and that thepresence of a marine park would notdiminish that right.11. (C/NF) Yeadon stressed that theexchange of notes governed more than justthe atoll of Diego Garcia but expresslyprovided that all of the BIOT was “set asidefor defense purposes. ” (Note: This is correct.End Note.) She urged Embassy officers indiscussions with advocates for theChagossians, including with members of the“All Party Parliamentary Group on ChagosIslands (APPG),” to affirm that the USGrequires the entire BIOT for defensepurposes. Making this point would be thebest rejoinder to the Chagossians’ assertionthat partial settlement of the outer islands ofthe Chagos Archipelago would have noimpact on the use of Diego Garcia. Shedescribed that assertion as essentiallyirrelevant if the entire BIOT needed to beuninhabited for defense purposes.12. (C/NF) Yeadon dismissed the APPG asa “persistent” but relatively non-influentialgroup within parliament or with the widerpublic. She said the FCO had received onlya handful of public inquiries regarding thestatus of the BIOT. Yeadon described oneof the Chagossians’ most outspokenadvocates, former HMG High Commissionerto Mauritius David Snoxell, as “entirelylacking in influence” within the FCO. Shealso asserted that the Conservatives, if inpower after the next general election, wouldnot support a Chagossian right of return.She averred that many members of theLiberal Democrats (Britain’s third largestparty after Labour and the Conservatives)supported a “right of return.”13. (C/NF) Yeadon told Poloff May 12, andin several prior meetings, that the FCO willvigorously contest the Chagossians’ “right ofreturn” lawsuit before the European Court ofHuman Rights (ECHR). HMG will argue thatthe ECHR lacks jurisdiction over the BIOT inthe present case. Roberts stressed May 12(as has Yeadon on previous occasions) thatthe outer islands are “essentiallyuninhabitable” and could only be renderedlivable by modern, Western standards with amassive infusion of cash.Comment14. (C/NF) Regardless of the outcome ofthe ECHR case, however, the Chagossiansand their advocates, including the “All PartyParliamentary Group on Chagos Islands(APPG),” will continue to press their case inthe court of public opinion. Their strategy isto publicize what they characterize as theplight of the so-called Chagossian diaspora,thereby galvanizing public opinion and, intheir best case scenario, causing thegovernment to change course and allow a“right of return.” They would point to thegovernment’s recent retreat on the issue ofGurkha veterans’ right to settle in the UK asa model. Despite FCO assurances that themarine park concept -- still in an early,conceptual phase -- would not impinge onBIOT’s value as a strategic resource, we areconcerned that, long-term, both the Britishpublic and policy makers would come to seethe existence of a marine reserve asinherently inconsistent with the military useof Diego Garcia -- and the entire BIOT. Inany event, the U.S. and UK would need tocarefully negotiate the parameters of such amarine park -- a point on which Robertsunequivocally agreed. In Embassy London’sview, these negotiations should occuramong U.S. and UK experts separate fromthe 2009 annual Political-Militaryconsultations, given the specific andtechnical legal and environmental issuesthat would be subject to discussion.15. (C/NF) Comment Continued. We do notdoubt the current government’s resolve toprevent the resettlement of the islands’former inhabitants, although as FCOParliamentary Under-Secretary GillianMerron noted in an April parliamentarydebate, “FCO will continue to organize andfund visits to the territory by theChagossians.” We are not as sanguine asthe FCO’s Yeadon, however, that theConservatives would oppose a right ofreturn. Indeed, MP Keith Simpson, theConservatives’ Shadow Minister, ForeignAffairs, stated in the same Aprilparliamentary debate in which Merron spokethat HMG “should take into account what Isuspect is the all-party view that the rights ofthe Chagossian people should berecognized, and that there should at the veryleast be a timetable for the return of thosepeople at least to the outer islands, if not theinner islands.” Establishing a marine reservemight, indeed, as the FCO’s Roberts stated,be the most effective long-term way toprevent any of the Chagos Islands’ formerinhabitants or their descendants fromresettling in the BIOT.
