1947 Accord

The 1947 Accord refers to the agreement between the Government of Pakistan and the representative body of the Tehreek-e-Pakistan (Muslim League) regarding the administration of the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir. It aimed to set a framework for accession, governance, and future political steps following the partition of British India. The accord emphasized principles of self-determination and highlighted the importance of democratic processes and dialogue. However, its implementation faced challenges, and the conflict over Kashmir’s status remains a complex and contentious issue in the region’s history.
