The Diego Garcia and Chagos Islands Council is a provisional Chagossian civilian government for the Chagos Islands.
Elections were first held in 2011, and a cabinet was formed. The council currently provides help and services to the Chagossian diaspora, and in the future intends to operate as a self-governing British overseas territory.[1]
