Status of Kashmir under the Right of Self-Determination within the Ambit of International Law

Abstract

Almost over seven decades, peoples of the previous Princely State of Jammu and Kashmir are waiting for their right of self-determination, guaranteed by the United Nations. There are more than twenty-five UN resolutions, requiring the arrangement of the contest; India is hesitant to concede Kashmiris as their privilege of self-determination. By precluding the execution from securing UN goals and involving the state through the organization of more than 900,000 soldiers, India is disregarding International law and UN goals. Over the last quarter-century, Indian security soldiers sent in Indian Held Kashmir (IHK) have submitted huge human rights infringement.

The paper in this way places into a discussion, the legitimate viewpoint of Kashmir contest in the light of guarantees given by International law, arrangements of human rights, bilateral agreements, and conventions.
