United Nations Security Council Resolution 47, adopted on April 21, 1948, after hearing arguments from both India and Pakistan the Council increased the size of the Commission established by United Nations Security Council Resolution 49 to five members, instructed the Commission to go to the subcontinent and help the governments of India and Pakistan restore peace and order to the region and prepare for a plebiscite to decide the fate of Kashmir. The resolution was passed by United Nations Security Council under chapter VI of UN Charter.〔One of the earliest applications of Chapter VI of the United Nations Charter was on the Kashmir dispute. Following negotiations and agreements among the parties, the Security Council adopted resolution 47 (1948) of 21 April 1948 which promised a free and fair plebiscite under UN auspices to enable the people of Jammu and Kashmir to determine whether they wish to join Pakistan or India. (Foreign Minister of Pakistan, on the role of the Security Council in the Pacific Settlement of Disputes )〕 Resolutions passed under Chapter VI of UN charter are considered non binding and have no mandatory enforceability as opposed to the resolutions passed under Chapter VII.〔'The Kashmir issue was taken to the UN by India in January, 1948 and remained active in the UN Security Council till the late fifties The Indian complaint was filed under Chapter VI of the UN Charter and not under Chapter VII, which requires mandatory enforcement of the UN Security Council's decisions.' (Kashmir policy: an overview by Shamshad Ahmad ), Dawn 2004-08-05〕〔"There are two sorts of security council resolution: those under 'chapter 6' are non-binding recommendations dealing with the peaceful resolution of disputes; those under 'chapter 7' give the council broad powers, including war, to deal with 'threats to the peace ... or acts of aggression'." (If Saddam steps out of line we must go straight to war by Bill Emmott ), ''The Guardian'', 2002-11-25.〕〔'Chapter VI establishes the appropriate methods of settling international disputes and the Security Council's powers in relation to them. It is generally agreed that resolutions under Chapter VI are advisory rather than binding. These resolutions have generally been operative only with the consent of all parties involved. Traditionally, the Chapter has not been interpreted to support collective intervention by member states in the affairs of another member state.'(Collective Insecurities by Azeem Suterwalla ). Harvard International Review〕 In March 2001, the then Secretary-General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan during his visit to India and Pakistan,remarked that Kashmir resolutions are only advisory recommendations and comparing with those on East Timor and Iraq was like comparing apples and oranges, since those resolutions were passed under chapter VII, which make it enforceable by UNSC. In 2003, then Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf announced that Pakistan was willing to back off from demand for UN resolutions for Kashmir. Moreover, in November 2010, United Nations excluded Jammu and Kashmir from its annual list of unresolved international disputes under the observation of the United Nations Security Council. The resolution recommended that in order to ensure the impartiality of the plebiscite Pakistan withdraw all tribesmen and nationals who entered the region for the purpose of fighting and that India leave only the minimum number of troops needed to keep civil order. The Commission was also to send as many observers into the region as it deemed necessary to ensure the provisions of the resolution were enacted. Pakistan ignored the UN mandate, did not withdraw its troops and claimed the withdrawal of Indian forces was a prerequisite as per this resolution.〔(A Brief History of Kashmir Conflict ). ''The Daily Telegraph.'' September 24, 2001.〕 Indian claim is that Subsequently Pakistan refused to implement the plebiscite until India accedes to it and continued holding on to the portion of Kashmir under its control.〔(Kashmir Issue ). Ministry of External Affairs - India. 〕〔'(State Dept. Moves to Expel Top Kashmir Separatist ). ''The New York Times''. April 22, 1990.〕 The resolution was adopted paragraph by paragraph; no vote on the resolution as a whole was taken. *In November 2010 the United Nations has removed Jammu and Kashmir from its list of disputed territories.〔(Jammu and Kashmir out of U.N. list of disputes, The Hindu, 15 Nov,2010 )〕〔http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-jammu-kashmir-out-of-un-disputes-list-pakistan-cries-foul-1467235〕〔http://tribune.com.pk/story/77671/kashmir-issue-left-unmentioned-in-united-nations/〕〔http://ibnlive.in.com/news/pak-slams-missing-kashmir-in-un-disputes-list/135077-2.html〕 *In a major setback to Pakistan’s efforts to internationalise the Kashmir issue, the United Nations has excluded Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) from its list of unresolved international disputes under the observation of the UN Security Council (UNSC). Pakistan's acting envoy in the UN, Amjad Hussain Sial, has lodged a strong protest, while Indian authorities welcomed the decision. 〔http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-jammu-kashmir-out-of-un-disputes-list-pakistan-cries-foul-1467235〕〔http://ibnlive.in.com/news/pak-slams-missing-kashmir-in-un-disputes-list/135077-2.html〕〔http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/jammu-and-kashmir-out-of-un-list-of-disputes/article886480.ece〕 ==See also== * Hurriyat and Problems before Plebiscite * Indo-Pakistani relations * Indian Armed Forces and the Jammu and Kashmir Floods, 2014 * Kashmir conflict * List of United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1 to 100 (1946 – 1953) * Timeline of the Kashmir conflict 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「United Nations Security Council Resolution 47」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
