Jammu and Kashmir: legal position, Security Council mediation and future prospect

Jammu and Kashmir is one of the most beautiful places on earth and has often been described by poets and travellers as paradise on earth. However, following the partition of India in 1947, the region has become a site of conflict between India and Pakistan and is now a potential nuclear flashpoint in Asia. Thus, in this article, the author examines the genesis of the Kashmir dispute and tries to ascertain the legality of the accession of Jammu and Kashmir to India. As, despite numerous attempts at mediation, the UN Security Council has failed to bring about a permanent resolution of the dispute, the author highlights the possible reasons for this failure and puts forward a potential solution to the dispute which would be acceptable to all parties.
