IMPLEMENTASI HUKUM INTERNASIONAL TERHADAP PERSENGKETAAN WILAYAH KASHMIR ANTARA INDIA-PAKISTAN

Abstract

This study aims to determine the view of international law on the dispute over the Kashmir region between India and Pakistan as a form of conflict resolution efforts. The legal research used is normative legal research or what is commonly referred to as library research with the acquisition of secondary data sourced from the internet. The results show that the status of the Kashmir region under international law is being contested because both India and Pakistan declare Kashmir as their territory. The dispute over the Kashmir region arises because of the conflict of political interest between the two countries and the unilaterally declared power of India and Pakistan. Pakistan also states that the Muslim majority, including religious factors, is an integral part of Pakistan, and India also claims that there is a Hindu community in Kashmir integrated with India. Furthermore, in order to resolve the Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan, it must be carried out through bilateral relations between the two countries. The United Nations can grant rights to India and Pakistan over the Kashmir region according to their territorial location, so that there is no longer any reason for the two countries to fight over each other's territory. And countries that do not follow the decision could face severe penalties set by the United Nations.
