I knew you had nothing … you seem to have a problem with 1957 resolution … no problem (i picked this one up as this was the last time Kashmir question was discussed in srcurity council). But is you take any resolution from 1949 till 1957 they refer to UNCIP resolution … which you “claimed” were not “kosher” . But somehow you have more “faith” in the “proposal” … ok let us take this up also … what does it say …
- The program of demilitarization should include the withdrawal from the State of Jammu and Kashmir of the regular forces of Pakistan; and the withdrawal of the regular forces of India not required for purposes of security or for the maintenance of local law and order on the Indian side of the Cease-Fire Line: also the reduction, by disbanding and disarming, of local forces, including on the one side the Armed Forces and Militia of the State of Kashmir and on the other, the Azad Forces.
- The “Northern Area” should also be included in the above program of demilitarization, and its administration should, subject to United Nations supervision, be continued by the existing local authorities
Now do you see the difference … Pakistan forces were to vacate “completely” which as Indian forces were to “stay” in Kashmir to maintain law & order (there were further developmet in coming years and if we continue i will enlightent you more on this)
Refer to the second point … Pakistan had problems to this … i will discuss this later on …
Coming back to the “proposal” you had refered …
- When the agreed program of demilitarization preparatory to the plebiscite has been accomplished to the satisfaction of the United Nations representative, the Plebiscite Administrator should proceed forthwith to exercise the functions assigned to him under the terms of UNCIP resolution of 5 January 1949, which, together with UNCIP resolution of 13 August 1948, was accepted by the Governments of India and Pakistan and which are now reaffirmed by these Governments except in so far as the provisions therein contained as modified by the relevant provisions of this document. The functions and powers of the Plebiscite Administrator remain as setforth in UNCIP resolution of 5 January, 1949
See again the emphasis on demilitarization before any action is taken on plebiscite … the reason for this is that there is a history to it … as to why Pakistani troops were asked to withdraw completely … but Indian forces were asked to stay back … can discuss that also …but i would suggest you check up on your informaion first before we embark on this !!!
Lastly … yes it is not binding on Pakistan too … but then it is Pakistan that was crying about the UN resolution … India has moved on and wants to settle in “bi-laterally”
