The status of Jammu and Kashmir has been in dispute between India and Pakistan since their independence in 1947. In bringing it to the U.N., India declared that it would abide by the verdict of the people of the territory on whether they would accede to India or to Pakistan. The U.N. set up a commission which negotiated with both parties and obtained their written acceptance of a peace plan consisting of (a) cease*fire (b) demilitarization of the State and (c) a plebiscite under the control of a U.N. -appointed Administrator. The cease*fire took effect accordingly but the demilitarization process, which would mean a synchronized withdrawal of the forces of the two sides, was obstructed when India did not accept any of the various plans submitted by successive U.N. Representatives.
The stalemate would not have persisted if, under cold-war conditions, India had not obtained the support of the Soviet Union.
The United Nations considers Kashmir a "disputed territory." The state is located between India and Pakistan. Since the end of colonial rule and British withdrawal, India and Pakistan have exercised control over parts of the state. In 1948, and again in 1949, the United Nations examined the region's status and passed two resolutions: Kashmir's final status was to be determined by a national plebiscite, a position that was supported by both India and Pakistan as well as by Canada.
Calling Kashmir as "integral part" of its territory, India summarily and illegally annexed that portion of the region then under its control. Pakistan continued to hold its portion "in trust." The status of "disputed territory" for Kashmir is still maintained today by the United Nations
