UN
resolution of 1948
This is the most significant resolution passed
by the United Nations on the state of Jammu and Kashmir on
August 13, 1948, after India lodged a complaint with the world
body against Pakistani invasion in Kashmir. Though it proposes
that Kashmir's future would be decided in accordance with
the will of the people, it clearly states that first Pakistan
is to vacate its troops from the whole of the state. It also
mentions, albeit indirectly, that Pakistan had consistently
lied on the question of whether or not its troops were involved
in the fighting in Jammu and Kashmir.
