India claims that Pakistan is applying economic pressure on Kashmir in an effort to force the State to come into Pakistan by shutting off supply of food, gasoline, and other necessities and by cutting off free trade. Here, we investigate whether India's claims are true and, if so, what legal consequences there may be.
Kashmiris claim that the economic blockade by Pakistan led to their everyday suffering and the immobility of transportation due to the unavailability of vital products. The claim is more serious because the embargoed quotas of salt (ten wagons), corn and wheat (two months' quota), cloth (189 bales), and oil (384,000 gallons) were in the Pakistani towns of Rawalpindi. India's complaint to the UN Security Council in 1948 alleging Pakistani aggression in Kashmir has been declassified by the US State Department, 70 years after it was first lodged with the UN Secretary General, Sir Garfield Alexander Sackville-Westley on January 1, 1948.
On October 2, 1947, in a telegram to the Prime Minister of Kashmir, Pakistan's Minister of Foreign Affairs confirmed the delay of supplies to Kashmir. Acts as a protector for the transporter function. Dogra forces killed Muslims in Kashmir, and Muslim truck drivers in vehicles that normally transport these goods from Rawalpindi to Kashmir, even in relation to supplies already available in western Punjab refused to move. Unless a military guard is provided. Pakistan's Foreign Minister explained another reason for halting supplies related to the rail disruption: it was a refugee, and the murders and massacres were not acute - due to the lack of coal.
In assessing the fulfillment of Pakistan's post-independence undertaking, bear in mind that the division of the subcontinent has been accompanied by agitation of violence involving millions of men, women and children, particularly in Punjab and Kashmir. you have to keep it. Half a million people were killed and about 14 million were displaced across borders. Has more than 8 million refugees and has no management structure or resources to live up to its name to deal with them (because India refused to pay Pakistan's share from its 4-billion-rupee communal estate), Pakistan pleads to halt shipments Disturbances on the Sialkot-Jammu railway section due to coal shortages and road blockages due to masses of migrants appear to be having a major impact on Kashmir.
No violation of the Standstill Agreement has been made by Pakistan. The suspension of supplies of necessities from Pakistan to Kashmir—whose passage the former was legally obligated to not obstruct—does not amount to an attempt by the latter to exert economic pressure on the State. If a duty under the treaty or another international obligation owed to a party to the treaty was broken by a party, that party may not use the impossibility of performance as a justification for terminating, withdrawing from, or suspending the execution of the treaty.
