UN General Assembly
1949

104. Other questions involving threats to the peace were before the Security Council. The group of questions included in item 8 of those notified by the Secretary-General, namely, the India-Pakistan question, was of the most direct and vital interest to Pakistan, the dispute relating to the accession of Kashmir being the most outstanding among them. A brief reference to that question had been made by the representative of India, in the course of his address to the Assembly at the 222nd meeting, but he had confined himself to generalities. The dispute, however, had dragged on through various phases for nearly two years, and Sir Mohammad Zafrulla Khan thought it would be appropriate, for the benefit and information of those States Members which were not represented on the Security Council, to explain briefly at what stage the efforts of the United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan Which was seeking to bring about a settlement had been brought to a standstill.
