Attorney General Ahmed Usham has announced that the government is in the final stages of appointing a team of international legal counsel and experts to bring the case of the Maldives’ lost maritime territory before international judicial bodies. This initiative aligns with a key presidential pledge of President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu. The current administration maintains that the previous government’s handling of this matter was unlawful and detrimental to the national interests of the Maldives. While acknowledging the significant challenges involved in successfully re-litigating this issue, the Attorney General emphasized the administration’s commitment to undertaking all necessary efforts to recover the lost maritime area. Further details regarding this legal process are expected to be disclosed within the next two weeks.
