Commission formed to investigate the alleged sale of maritime territory

President Mohamed Muizzu has established a seven-member commission to investigate the Maldives' handling of the maritime boundary dispute involving the Chagos Archipelago, following allegations that part of the country's territory was "sold off." The President's Office said the commission was formed on the recommendation of foreign experts, and it has been given six responsibilities, including probing the submission of the case to ITLOS and identifying any legal negligence by officials.
