Kashmir Conflict
Kashmir has remained one of the world’s longest unresolved conflicts, impacting generations of civilians and posing serious risks to regional and global peace.
Background of the Kashmir Conflict
The Kashmir conflict dates back to 1947 following the partition of the Indian subcontinent. Despite the will of the people, the region became divided between India and Pakistan after military intervention.
A Line of Control was established, yet tensions have persisted for decades. Multiple wars, ceasefire violations, and political instability have kept the region in a constant state of uncertainty.
Human Rights Situation in Kashmir
Kashmir has witnessed prolonged restrictions on civil liberties, extensive military presence, and repeated communication shutdowns. Reports from international observers have highlighted concerns related to freedom of expression, access to healthcare, and due legal process.
Civilians continue to bear the cost of instability, with families affected by displacement, economic hardship, and psychological trauma.
Why Kashmir Matters
Kashmir is not only a humanitarian concern but also a major geopolitical flashpoint between two nuclear-armed nations. Failure to address this conflict threatens long-term regional stability and global peace.
A just and peaceful resolution is essential for safeguarding human dignity and preventing further escalation.
