    The Simla Agreement of 1972 between India and Pakistan sought to reverse the consequences of the 1971 war through troop withdrawals and a prisoner exchange. It also committed both countries to peacefully resolving all issues bilaterally and upholding the inviolability of the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. However, both countries violated the agreement by occupying parts of Kashmir - India captured the Siachen Glacier in 1986 while Pakistan captured 28 peaks, and tensions escalated further during the Kargil War, which violated international law.

    Simla Agreement and international law violation:

    • The Simla Agreement signed by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi


    and President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto of Pakistan on 2nd July 1972
    was much more than a peace treaty seeking to reverse the
    consequences of the 1971 war (i.e. to bring about withdrawals
    of troops and an exchange of PoWs)
    • A mutual commitment to the peaceful resolution of all issues
    through direct bilateral approaches.
    • To build the foundations of a cooperative relationship with
    special focus on people to people contacts.
    • To uphold the inviolability of the Line of Control in Jammu and
    Kashmir, which is a most important CBM between India and
    Pakistan, and a key to durable peace.
    Cont:
    • India violated (1986 occupied Siachen)
    • Pak also captured 28 peak
    • Lahore declaration
    • International law preceptive about kargil war
