Dr. Abdul Muhsin Appointed Chairman of Commission on Fowlhavahi Maritime Dispute

President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has appointed Dr. Abdul Muhsin Muhammad as the Chairman of the commission investigating how the Maldives handled the Fowlhavahi maritime dispute case filed by Mauritius at the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS). The commission was originally announced in the President's annual address this year. According to the President's Office, international experts' reports studying the ongoing dispute suggested that the Maldives lost a large area of its territory due to how the matter was handled, representing an irreparable loss to the country's fisheries and marine resources. The commission is tasked with examining actions taken by government employees, advisors, and officials involved on behalf of the state and recommending appropriate measures. Previous members have been replaced, with Dr. Abdul Muhsin taking over from Al-Ustaz Ahmed Shakir, Holder of the Order of Honour and Dignity Nishan Diyamigili. Other members include Captain Ahmed Zubair, Dr. Amina Shafiya Adam, retired Deputy Commissioner of Police Muhammad Sadique, Ahmed Aleemani, Al-Ustaza Fatima Minhat Izath, and Al-Ustaza Aisha Fazna Ahmad.
