The UK paid Mauritius £3m for the islands. Mauritius was happy with the deal. How is there anything illegal about it?

  So if I pay your govt 3 million (or 3 billion (or 3 trillion)) in exchange I get to deport you, your family and everyone you know to wherever I want? Legal yeah?

  Legality isn't the issue here, it's morality.

    That said I think there is some evidence of potentially criminal activity in the treatment of those living on the islands. John Pilger famously made a documentary about it.

  It's not legal to sell something you don't own.
