Restore Statutory Legality to the Unified British Overseas Territory of Mauritius


Restore Statutory Legality to the Unified British Overseas Territory of Mauritius
The Issue
I want to...
Require the United Kingdom Government to acknowledge the Statutory Nullity of the 1965 Chagos detachment and the Proxy Fraud of the 1967 General Election, resulting in the restoration of the Unified Self-Governed British Overseas Territory of Mauritius.
The Issue: The Anatomy of a Jurisdictional Fraud (1965–1968)
The current administrative status of the Republic of Mauritius is a Jurisdictional Nullity. The legal foundation of the state is built upon a sequence of Ultra Vires acts and a calculated Proxy Fraud that bypassed mandatory Imperial Statutes.
1. The 1965 Statutory Breach (Colonial Boundaries Act 1895)
Territorial boundaries of a colony cannot be altered without the mandatory "consent of the colony." The 1965 detachment of the Chagos Archipelago was executed via executive agreement without the required statutory consent (a formal Referendum). This act was a violation of the Colonial Boundaries Act 1895 and is, therefore, void from its inception.
2. The 1967 General Election as "Proxy Fraud"
The 1967 General Election was used by the UK Government and local ministers as a Proxy Fraud to manufacture "consent" for independence and the prior illegal detachment of territory. Under British Law, an election for local representation cannot serve as a legal substitute for a specific Statutory Referendum on territorial boundaries. This procedural bypass was a deception intended to circumvent the 1895 Act.
3. The Nullity of the Mauritius Independence Act 1968
Pursuant to Section 2 of the Colonial Laws Validity Act 1865, any local instrument or law that is "repugnant" to an Imperial Statute is "absolutely void and inoperative." Because the 1968 Independence Act was predicated on the unlawful 1965 boundaries and the 1967 Proxy Fraud, it lacks a valid jurisdictional foundation. Under the maxim fraus omnia corrumpit (fraud negates everything), the transfer of sovereignty is a legal fiction.
Our Demand for Rectification
We call upon the UK Government, the House of Lords, and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (JCPC) to:
Annul the 1965 Detachment: Recognize that the 1965 executive agreement was Ultra Vires and failed to meet the statutory requirements of the 1895 Act.
Expose the Proxy Fraud: Acknowledge that the 1967 General Election could not legally ratify the illegal detachment of territory.
Declare the 1968 Act Void: Recognize the Statutory Nullity of the Independence Act under the 1865 Act.
Restore the Unified Territory: Re-establish the Unified Self-Governed British Overseas Territory of Mauritius (Mauritius, Chagos, Rodrigues, Agalega, and St Brandon).
Protect Statutory Rights: Restore full British Overseas Territories Citizenship (BOTC) and land rights to all native inhabitants under the protection of the Crown.
