No place on earth has a "native" population. Every place on earth was originally inhabited by people from somewhere else.

Except for Mauritius, which wasn't inhabited by anyone *but* some colonial power.

There's a reason why Mauritius is independent, rather than still a colony of Britain, despite not having a pre-existing native population.

Sure. Because in the modern era, there's no value in holding on to a bunch of places you need to have handy for the sailing ships of the Royal Navy to drop anchor.

And the diplomatic and reputational costs that comes from being in continuous violation of an ICJ ruling and a UN Resolution continue, regardless of what they argue.

Oh my goodness. Heaven knows the UN is as pure as the driven snow and just about everyone on the planet waits with bated breath as to what they might say.
