Ireland is committed to this position until the three parties to the dispute, Pakistan, India and the people of Jammu and Kashmir arrive at some mutually acceptable final settlement. Ireland has always emphasized the necessity of a meaningful, constructive and result oriented dialogue to resolve the Jammu and Kashmir dispute. Ireland maintains that rigidity and aggression must give way to accommodation and lexibility. Ireland believes struggle for self-determination by the Kashmiri people have undergone untold sufferings and hardship over the years. Ireland has confidence in that the Kashmiri people must be associated with the Pakistan-India dialogue process for arriving at a sustainable solution. Their legitimate aspirations cannot be ignored and must be accommodated in any just and durable solution.
The republic of Ireland, historically and immobile ensures that Jammu and Kashmir has been a disputed territory.

These resolutions remain fully in force today, and cannot be unilaterally disregarded by either party.

    The conflict in Northern Ireland is likely one of the most closely watched and hotly debated disputes of our time. Spanning now for over a century, what remains at the root of the conflict is unclear. Many theories have developed over time, yet no one theory seems to adequately describe the complex struggle. The conflict has been divided down many lines; ethnically between the British and the Irish, geographically, between the North and the South of Ireland, and religiously between Protestants and Catholics. Theories that have emerged have pointed to causes such as land claims and a nationalist ideology, ethnicity and culture, and perhaps most frequently, religion when attempting to define the conflict. In fact, what is more likely is that elements of all of these issues lie at the root of what is commonly referred to as "The Troubles". The history of this contemporary conflict is detailed, but impossible to ignore. While different factions of the dispute would argue that the problem began centuries ago, I will examine briefly the history of the "troubles" from the end of the 19th century forward. For much of its history, Ireland has lived under British rule. As the 19th century drew to a close, Britain became aware of a rapidly growing sense of Irish Nationalism. In 1870, the Irish Protestants placed the notion of Home Rule on the front burner in an attempt to separate Ireland from the rapid secularism that was occurring in Britain. Very quickly the movement was picked up by Irish Catholics who saw Home Rule as a truly nationalist ideal, and by 1874 they had dominated the movement. This pushed the Protestants back towards Unionism and was one of the many strikes against the idea of a united Ireland.…

    Northern Ireland Conflict

    • 2069 Words
    • 9 Pages

    The territorial conflict between United Kingdom’s Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland dates back to the 1960s between the Unionists and the Nationalists, and focused on the constitutional status of Northern Ireland. The Unionists and overwhelming protestant majority wanted Northern Ireland to remain with the United Kingdom, while the Nationalists and minority Catholics wanted to become part of the Republic of Ireland. Issues between the British and Irish date back to the 1600s, and the Northern Ireland conflict directly relates to those past issues. The idea for solving this issue was to ascend politics over violence, but this was not easily achieved. Differences between Unionists and Nationalists led to 3,600 deaths and around 50,000 injuries.…

    Palestine’s struggle to gain statehood has been a major international conflict for decades. From 1923 until 1948 Britain controlled several Arab nations as well as Palestine. The violence over Palestinian and Jewish claims to the land escalated to the point where Britain gave control of the situation to the United Nations. The UN proposed a resolution for a separate Israeli and Palestinian state. In 1948 Israel accepted the proposition and is now recognized as a state by most other international organizations. Palestine, however, rejected this petition and was forced to become part of the territory controlled by Israel.…

    As one of the worst conflicts in the world since the Second World War, Northern Ireland is one of the most studied areas in the world. It has been said that: “If all the publications, the explanations, the analyses and the ‘solutions’ to the Northern Irish ‘problem’ were put side by side they would span the entire circumference of the world” (Vaughan-Williams, 2006). But yet, the conflict is still called one of the most headstrong (political) conflicts of the twentieth century (Hayes, 2001). I wanted to know why there is conflict about the conflict.…

    China is once again in focus in challenging the status-quo in South Asia in collusive strategic facilitation by Pakistan. This time China has shifted the strategic focus from India’s borders with China- Occupied Tibet in Arunachal Pradesh in the North East to Ladakh and to India’s Line of Actual Control with Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK). Reports emanating from unimpeachable sources in the United States indicate that China has positioned nearly 12,000 Chinese Army troops in the Gilgit-Baltistan Region of the Northern Areas presently in illegal occupation of Pakistan. China in one quiet but swift stroke has changed the geopolitical and geostrategic equations in this critical region which borders China, India, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Tajikistan. The deployment of Chinese troops in this region even though for the ostensible purposes of infrastructural improvements of the ‘Karakoram Corridor’ heralds a new phase of China flexing its muscles not only against India but more significantly against United States in the wider global context. Ominously, China’s upgradation of the Karakoram Corridor on Pakistan’s behalf enables China’s strategic outreach to the North Arabian Sea and the Gulf. Building oil and gas pipelines through this Corridor significantly improve China’s military postures in Western Tibet and Xingjiang both against India and countering the NATO’s Eastward creep towards China’s peripheries. Notwithstanding that the Karakoram Corridor initially passes through disputed territory, China has gone ahead with this major project as the major portion traversing Pakistan gives a strategic advantage to China in not only in outflanking US embedment in Afghanistan but also places a strong ‘strategic pressure point’ in China’s hand against the United States when coupled with Chinese naval presence at Gwadur Port in proximity of the…

    It is often not realized that among the causes of Kashmir problem – inclusion of plebiscite in the Instrument of Accession, reference of Kashmir to UN, halting Indian offensive when it was poised to drive out the invaders from Kashmir, Article 370 has played no less a part in preventing J&K from becoming an integral part of the Indian Union. Not many people are aware as how and why this Article was formulated and included in the Indian Constitution despite grave misgivings of Sardar Patel and indeed a large number of the members of Congress Working Committee and Constituent Assembly.…

    Historical Impression The dispute largely lies on sovereignty over two pieces of territory that are Aksai Chin and disputed territory lies south of the McMahon Line. The border dispute between China and India has colonial roots as China’s selective recognition to the agreements done during British period. In the light of recent Chinese incursion into Ladakh region the focus of this article will be on Aksai Chin. Historically, two events are important and stand key to the claims of both the parties. In 1865 W. H. Johnson, proposed the "Johnson Line", which put Aksai Chin in Jammu and Kashmir. This was the time of the Dungan revolt, when China did not control Xinjiang, so this line was never presented to the Chinese.1 In the 1890s Britain and China were allies and Britain was principally concerned that Aksai Chin not fall into Russian hands. In 1899, when China showed an interest in Aksai Chin, Britain proposed a revised boundary, initially suggested by George Macartney, 2 which put most of Aksai Chin in Chinese territory. This line, known as the Macartney­MacDonald line, is approximately the same as the current Line of Actual Control. Upon independence in 1947, the government of India used the…

    The Kargil Conflict

    • 1719 Words
    • 7 Pages

    In recent situations, U.S. dissuasion has been more effective. During the Kargil conflict, from May to July 1999, U.S. diplomacy was a critical factor in the Indian decision to limit the fighting to one isolated sector of the Line of Control in Kashmir. When Pakistani troops crossed the line in the early months of the year, India had the option of opening new fronts elsewhere in Kashmir or, potentially, along the international border with Pakistan proper. The decision not to expand the conflict horizontally or vertically was New Delhi 's, but Washington 's influence helped to reinforce Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee 's preference for a limited operation to restore the Line of Control rather than open-ended war with the inherent potential for nuclear escalation. This new U.S.-Indian interaction during Kargil was founded on a relationship that had been painstakingly constructed since the early 1990 's, highlighted by the intensive dialogue between Indian Minster of External Affairs Jaswant Singh and American Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott.…
