İngiliz İmparatorluğu’ndan bağımsızlıktan sonra Keşmir, Hindistan ve Pakistan arasındaki en büyük çatışma kaynağı oldu. Bölünmeden bu yana Keşmir çatışmasının belirleyici bir çözüme ulaşılmadan önce yıllarca devam edebileceği anlaşıldı. Bu sorun Pakistan ve Hindistan'ı üç büyük savaşa ve birkaç küçük ölçekli çatışmaya sürükledi (çözülmezse gelecekte daha fazla çatışmaya yol açabilir). Bu makale Keşmir'in kesinlikle göz ardı edilemeyecek iki yeni devlet arasında bir çatışma noktası olduğunu öne sürmeyi amaçlamaktadır; ancak, çatışmayı tetikleyen çeşitli yerel ve uluslararası faktörler de vardır. Bu makale, arka planı tartışırken, çatışmayla ilgili hukuki ve siyasi konulara ışık tutacaktır. Son bölümde, gelecekteki olası çözümler hakkında kısa bir tartışma yapılacaktır. Makalenin temel amacı Keşmir çatışması konusunu herhangi bir önyargı olmadan nesnel olarak gözden geçirmektir. Tartışmalar ve incelemeler bir yandan konuyu aydınlatmak ve diğer yandan yanlış anlamaları ortadan kaldırmak için tarafsız olacaktır.

Legal Review of Kashmir Conflict: Approach to Resolution Through Rawls’ Theory of Justice

Öz

After Independence, Kashmir has been the greatest source of conflict between India and Pakistan. Since the partition, it was apprehended that the conflict of Kashmir may linger on for several years before a decisive solution is reached. This problem has lead Pakistan and India into three major wars and several small-scale conflicts (it may lead to further conflicts in the future if not resolved). This article seeks to propose that Kashmir was definitely a bone of contention between the two newly independent states that could not be overseen; however, there were other various factors of domestic and international nature that triggered the conflict. This article, while discussing the background, it analyses the legal claims of both parties and political issues regarding the conflict. In the last section, a brief discussion on the possible future solutions will be put forward. The basic aim of the article is to review the matter of Kashmir conflict objectively and in sheer isolation from any sort of bias. The arguments and reviews put forward will be impartial in order to illuminate the matter on the one hand and eradicate misconceptions on the other.
