Karachi Ceasefire Agreement 1949

K. Each party will have 30 days from the date of ratification to clear the territories it currently occupies beyond the now established ceasefire line. Before the expiry of that 30-day period, they may only advance by mutual agreement between local commanders in areas to be taken over by a Party under this Agreement. a) The road from MANAWAR to the south bank of the JHELUM River near URUSA (including India) is the fine now defined by the factual positions on which there is agreement between the two parties. (d) From DALUNANG to the east, the armistice line follows general line 15495, ISHMAN, MANUS, GANGAM, GUNDERMAN, point 13620, JUNKAR (item 17628), MARMAK, NATSARA, SHANGRUTH (item 17531), CHORBAT LA (item 15700), CHALUNKA (on the SHYOK River), KHOR, from there north to the glaciers. This part of the armistice line is demarcated in detail on the basis of the situation of 27 July 1949 by local commanders with the support of United Nations military observers. Another anomaly appeared at the southern end of the armistice line at Jammu. From the end of the ceasefire line to the international border between Indian and Pakistani Punjab, there was a gap of more than 200 km, which was covered by a recognized “provincial border” between Pakistani Punjab and the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir. India generally referred to this border as an “international border”,while Pakistan called it a “border” or a “labour border”. [7] From map point NJ9842, it must run just north of the international border with China, at a distance of about 60 to 65 km. As there were no troops in this area with inaccessible glacial terrain, no effort was made to extend the ceasefire line between NJ9842 and the Chinese border. This area of the Siachen Glacier eventually became a bone of contention between India and Pakistan. [7] Unless amended by paragraphs II-A to II-G inclusive, the military arrangements between the two high commands on the armistice of 1 January 1949 will remain in force.

I. The United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan shall send observers where it deems it necessary. E. In all orders that may be given under this Agreement, troops shall remain at least 500 metres from the ceasefire line, unless the KTSHANGANGA River forms the line. Points that have proven inclusive for one part may be occupied by that part, but the troops of the other part remain at a distance of 500 meters. The Karachi Agreement, officially called the agreement between the military representatives of India and Pakistan on the establishment of an armistice line in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, was signed on 27 July 1949, under the supervision of the UNCIP Armistice Subcommittee. [1] that the United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan, in its letter of 2 July 1949, requested the Governments of India and Pakistan to send fully authorized military representatives to meet in Karachi under the auspices of the Armistice Commission Sub-Committee in order to establish a ceasefire line in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, mutually agreed between the Governments of India and Pakistan; One. The military representatives of India and Pakistan met in Karachi from 18 to 27 July 1949 under the auspices of the Armistice Subcommittee of the United Nations Commission on India and Pakistan. C. The ceasefire line described above will be drawn on a one-inch map (if available) and then checked each other on the ground by local commanders on each side with the support of United Nations military observers to eliminate any no man`s land. If the local commanders do not reach an agreement, the matter is referred to the Commission`s military adviser, whose decision is final.

After this review, the military adviser will issue each high command with a map marking the final ceasefire line. 1. In accordance with the provision of Part I of resolution 13. An armistice line was established in August 1948 and in addition to the suspension of hostilities in the state of Jammu and Kashmir on 1 January 1949. UN document No. S/1430/Add.2[8] (the second addendum to the Karachi Agreement of 1949) shows the Armistice Line (LCF) marked on the map of the State of Jammu and Kashmir. The title of this addendum is: J. Delegations shall transmit this Convention to their respective Governments for ratification. The ratification documents shall be deposited with the United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan no later than 31 July 1949. B.

The delegations of India and Pakistan, duly authorized, reached the following agreement: The 830-kilometre ceasefire line established in the agreement began at a southernmost point west of the Chenab River in Jammu. It ran in an arc north and then northeast to map coordinate NJ9842, about 19 km north of the Shyok River. [6] The Karachi Agreement of 1949 was signed by the military representatives of India and Pakistan, who were monitored by the United Nations Commission on India and Pakistan and established an armistice line in Kashmir after the 1947 Indo-Pakistani War. [1] A ceasefire line was established, which has since been monitored by UN observers. [2] Security Council Resolution 39 of April 1948 established a United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan (UNCIP) to mediate between India and Pakistan to end the fighting in Kashmir and arrange for a referendum. After negotiations with both sides, the Commission adopted a three-part resolution in August 1948 and subsequently added a “supplement.” The three sides discussed the ceasefire, the terms of the ceasefire and the negotiation procedures for the referendum. Both countries accepted the resolution and an armistice was concluded on December 31, 1948. that the Governments of India and Pakistan, in their letters of 7 July 1949 to the Chairman of the Commission, accepted the Commission`s invitation to the Karachi Military Conference; S.K. Sinha explained that Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had informed the Indian delegation ahead of the Karachi meeting, informing them that the UN resolution granted the legality of Kashmir`s accession to India and that any “no man`s land” would therefore belong to India. His delegation should provide the United Nations Commission with evidence of the actual positions of its control over the entire territory it claimed. Sinha explained that based on this principle, the agreement demarcated several hundred square kilometers of territory on the Indian side, although there are no Indian troops in this region. [5].

F. Both sides are free to adjust their defensive positions behind the armistice line set out in paragraphs A to E, provided that wires or mines are not used in the construction of new bunkers and defenses. In areas where the establishment of the ceasefire line does not require major adjustments, there must be no increase in forces or reinforcement of defence. .
