What are the legal issues in the Kashmir dispute?

We all know the official Indian stand on the Kashmir Issue. Are there any legal issues that need to be dealt with in the dispute for Kashmir? Was referring the matter to the U.N a mistake? Personally, I have always considered Kashmir to be a part of India. However, I would encourage views on this topic. Please remember, that we are looking at the legal aspect of this issue (such as laws applicable the land, history of this dispute, events that led to such a situation) and not the political and nationalistic aspect of it? So let us endeavor to keep this conversation only from a legal academia perspective.

Basically Kashmir Issue is a political issue.

There may be some mistakes in past by our national leaders but raising the leagl issue is itself a mistake at present. Do you want to move court for settling the dispute of Kashmir.

It will pass over political areas even if confined in legal aspects only. As shekhar said it is basically a political issue. When running the road to political lands it may hurt or may not hurt. In both ways it is not a legal issue.

Dear Sir,

I think legally speaking kashmir is a part of india...and as far as the fate of people of kashmir is concerned... they can decide where they wanna live in pakistan or india...but not about the disputed land.

Introduction to the issue beyond one word:
