United Nations Security Council Resolutions on Kashmir

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) passed resolutions regarding Kashmir, primarily in 1948 and 1949, following the conflict between India and Pakistan after the partition of British India. These resolutions called for a ceasefire and urged both nations to hold a plebiscite to allow the people of Jammu and Kashmir to decide their future. While India emphasizes its sovereignty over the region, Pakistan advocates for a plebiscite. The resolutions have not been fully implemented, and the Kashmir issue remains a contentious point in India-Pakistan relations, with ongoing disputes over territorial claims and political control.
