| Tlo historyczne | Established as a territory of the UK w 1965, a number of the Brytyjskie Terytorium Oceanu Indyjskiego (BIOT) islands were transferred to the Seszele when it attained independence w 1976. Subsequently, BIOT has consisted only of the six main island groups comprising the Chagos Archipelago. The largest and most southerly of the islands, Diego Garcia, contains a joint UK-US naval support facility. All of the remaining islands are uninhabited. Former agricultural workers, earlier residents w the islands, were relocated primarily to Mauritius but also to the Seszele, between 1967 and 1973. In 2000, a British High Court ruling invalidated the local immigration order that had excluded them from the archipelago, but upheld the special military status of Diego Garcia. |

Construction projects and various services needed to support the military installation are performed by military and contract employees from the UK, Mauritius, the Filipiny, and the US.
