Abstract
The Kashmir dispute has remained unsolved for more than 70 years now and the right of self-determination is denied to the Kashmiri populace. This paper addresses the context and background of the Kashmir dispute. It references Pakistan’s efforts in trying to bring the dispute to the forefront of international affairs. In this paper, it is argued that India’s occupation of Kashmir and its recent constitutional changes are not justifiable under any bilateral treaty or even under international law. It highlights the recent developments in India regarding Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) and outlines the lawfare options available to Pakistan to counter Indian actions.
