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.

在国际法范式中，尽管自决具有坚定的统治，但其范围却被巨大的歧义所强调。联合国安理会第47（1948）决议明确批准了印度管理人 - 卡什米尔人民自决权，但印度已明确否认了克什米尔人的这一权利。因此，有必要了解自决变体的轮廓，这对克什米尔的冲突可能很重要。在非殖民化过程中，广泛应用了UTI Possidetis的想法，这导致人们被迫加入前殖民安排，从而导致少数民族的抑制。少数群体问题本身嵌入了后殖民界限的划界中，因为这种现代国家的观念是对多元化社区造成的。因此，克什米尔的冲突是诸如UTI Possidetis之类的规范的直接结果，这有助于这一冲突。国际法优先考虑自决权，但同时使对新划界后殖民国的管理权的控制合法化。不断对现有文献进行广泛的研究，对国际法律教义的批判性史学进行了规范性分析，将从“国际法”（The International of Conement）中的“第三世界方法”中进行，并在国际法中进行了措施，并在国际法上进行了措施。在形成后殖民边界。这将需要访问英国图书馆档案，以便与1947年前的克什米尔和英国印第安人有关的乐器，摘录和文件进行批判性互动，可在“印度办公室记录和私人论文”上获得，这些殖民法律进一步使印度控制权的控制权使诸如Kashmir的统治更为依据，这使国际审判的诉讼不仅限制了国际诉讼。仍然受到UTI Possidetis早期环境的强烈影响。它将为解决克什米尔的冲突做出强有力的规范承诺铺平道路。这项研究不仅将对国际法做出重大贡献，也将通过与当前的世界政策进行更大的影响，从而对和平与冲突理论做出重大贡献。为解决这一冲突的任何前瞻性行动也将不得不谨慎考虑南部政治。这项研究将试图通过确定相关的冲突解决模型预见到全球南方的国际关系，以巩固受害者（正义）和克什米尔人民的需求（正义）和克什米尔人民的需求。
