In the paradigm of international law, although self-determination enjoys a firm entrenchment, its scope is underscored by huge ambiguity. UN Security Council Resolution 47 (1948) expressly endorsed the right to self-determination for the people of Indian-Administered-Kashmir but India has denied Kashmiris this right explicitly to date. It is, therefore, necessary to understand the contour of the variants of self-determination that may be important to Kashmir's conflict. During decolonization, the idea of uti possidetis was extensively applied which resulted in people being forced to join the precolonial arrangements, resulting in the suppression of minorities. The minority-problem is itself embedded in the demarcating of post-colonial boundaries as this idea of modern statehood was inflicted on diverse communities. Kashmir's conflict is, therefore, a direct result of the norms like uti possidetis which has facilitated this conflict. International law prioritized the right to self-determination but simultaneously, legalized the control of administrations on the newly demarcated post-colonial states.Alongside extensive research on existing literature, a normative analysis using critical historiography of international legal doctrines will be carried out from a 'Third World Approaches to the International Law - (TWAIL)' point of view to comprehend how the present state of conflict in Kashmir is directly in consonance with international law and its role in forming of post-colonial boundaries. This will require visiting British Library Archives in order to critically engage with the instruments, extracts, and documents related to pre-1947 Kashmir and British-India, available at "India Office Records and Private Papers" and those colonial laws which further legitimized the Indian control over disputed princely states like Kashmir.This research will not only make a case for justice in conflict-ridden post-colonial states but will aid in contributing to the international law discourse, which remains strongly influenced by the early contexts of uti possidetis. It will pave way for a strong normative commitment to resolve the conflict in Kashmir. This research will not only be a significant contribution to international law but also to the peace and conflict theories by being more engaging with the present world policies that significantly shape the ongoing conflicts. Any prospective action towards the resolution of this conflict will also have to tread carefully considering South-Asian politics. This research will attempt to facilitate a redressal mechanism to consolidate the needs of victims (justice) and the people of Kashmir in general (self-determination) by identifying relevant models of conflict resolution foreseeing the international relations of the global south.

在国际法的范式中，虽然自决得到了牢固的确立，但其范围却极为模糊。联合国安全理事会第47（1948）号决议明确认可印度管理的克什米尔人民的自决权，但印度迄今明确否认克什米尔人的这一权利。因此，有必要了解对克什米尔冲突可能具有重要意义的各种自决的轮廓。在非殖民化期间，实际占领地保有权的概念得到广泛应用，导致人们被迫加入殖民前的安排，从而导致对少数群体的压制。少数民族问题本身就存在于后殖民时代的边界划分中，因为现代国家地位的概念是强加给不同社区的。因此，克什米尔冲突是诸如实际占领地保有权等规范的直接结果，这些规范助长了这场冲突。国际法优先考虑自决权，但同时也使行政当局对新划分的后殖民国家的控制合法化。将从“第三世界对国际法的看法”（TWAIL）中，运用国际法律的学说的批判性史学进行规范性分析”的观点来理解克什米尔目前的冲突状态如何直接符合国际法及其在形成后殖民边界方面的作用。这将需要访问大英图书馆档案馆，以批判性地参与与1947年前克什米尔和英印有关的文书，摘录和文件，可在“印度办公室记录和私人文件”和那些殖民法律，进一步合法化印度对有争议的王侯国家，如克什米尔的控制。这项研究不仅使正义的情况下，在冲突缠身后，殖民地国家，但将有助于促进国际法的讨论，这仍然受到实际占领地保有权的早期背景的强烈影响。它将为解决克什米尔冲突的强有力的规范性承诺铺平道路。这项研究不仅将对国际法作出重大贡献，而且将通过更多地参与当前世界政策来推动和平与冲突理论，这些政策将显著影响正在进行的冲突。考虑到南亚的政治，任何旨在解决这一冲突的预期行动都必须谨慎行事。这项研究将试图促进一个补救机制，通过确定全球南部国际关系中解决冲突的相关模式，巩固受害者（正义）和克什米尔人民（自决）的需求。
