On May 23, 2014, the UK Court of Appeal (the Court) delivered the latest ruling [3] in the case brought by the Chagos Islanders, Bancoult v. Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs. The Court held that a “cable” sent by the US Embassy in London to departments of the US Federal Government, the US Embassy in Mauritius and to the US military, which was published on Wikileaks, was admissible. The Court held, inter alia, that the provision of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations [4], which renders certain diplomatic communications “inviolable,” would not be breached by admitting the cable in evidence “since it had already been disclosed to the world by a third party.”
