This book provides analysis of the legal status of territories of the former Princely State of Jammu and Kashmir, considering potential opportunities for Kashmir conflict resolution. Containing a detailed survey of relevant legislation and international documents, chapters throughout this book investigate the attempts and failures of Kashmir conflict resolution, holding up factors which could enable more peaceful relations between India and Pakistan with inclusion of the inhabitants of the erstwhile Princely State of Jammu and Kashmir. The book goes further than outlining how India and Pakistan determine the legal status of their portions of Kashmir by demonstrating the complexity of legal arrangements and why this protracted conflict is so difficult to resolve. As the Kashmir conflict is not only about territory and irredentism, themes such as cultural and national identity, power procurement, territorial security, communal rivalry, religious radicalisation, economic factors, and social issues are all taken into consideration. Law and Conflict Resolution in Kashmir will appeal to students and scholars of peace and conflict studies, international relations, international law studies, and South Asian studies.

Law and Con¿ict Resolution in Kashmir (Routledge Studies in South Asian Politics)

The unresolved India-Pakistan conflict remains one of the major challenges in contemporary international relations. This book analyses the conflict between India and Pakistan. It examines the India–Pakistan complexity by focusing on the problems of human rights violations perpetrated by state and non-state actors in Indian and Pakistani administered Kashmir. The two South Asian states use, either explicitly or indirectly, the Kashmir issue as an important determinant of their internal and foreign policies and the Kashmir conflict is embedded in the power structures of both states. At the same time they both acknowledge the framework of international human rights regime and their duties thereby imposed, and take steps which lead to various abuses within the sphere of human rights. The book covers all the territories of the former State of Jammu and Kashmir in a balanced way in terms of legal analysis, human rights and politics. Presenting detailed information on the Kashmir conflict, and the situation of human rights in Kashmir as well as its legal status, this book will be of interest to academics and policy makers in the field of South Asian Studies, Human Rights, international relations and political science and conflict management in general and the Kashmir conflict in particular.
