Mauritius is held to be a leading example of a mixed legal system of common law and civil law origin inspired from British and French traditions.

However, given the wide overlaps between religion and ethnicity, a change of one’s inherited religion may also be perceived as a rupture from one’s own ethnic and family background, thus possibly leading to social ostracism.

However, there exists a relatively rich history of cases in which states have successfully addressed self-determination claims without leading to independence and secession, from which other states facing such challenges may benefit. (...) This can be the case even if other provisions, such as a transition period leading to a referendum, were contained in the agreement with the aim of decreasing the likelihood of eventual secession. (...) Another concern expressed was that, once an internal community enjoyed a degree of self-governance, this would create a slippery slope potentially leading to the creation of a ‘proto-state’, or that other groups would also start to make demands.

However, the interaction between IHL and counterterrorism law is leading to a harmful conflation of the two, a lack of understanding of the obligations of IHL, and a weakening of human rights protections in fragile, conflict, and post-conflict settings.

(...) In particular, CAAC experts and others overseeing protection files should work closely with their counterparts leading on counterterrorism and the security sector to disseminate information on the relevant child protection standards and legal obligations.
