The enduring Jammu and Kashmir conflict underscores the urgent need for a transformative, process-driven approach grounded in the principles of the United Nations Charter (1945). A lasting resolution must go beyond one-off settlements to meaningfully confront entrenched historical grievances, identity-based tensions, and asymmetries of power. This calls for sustained engagement through multilateral mechanisms that integrate legal adjudication, structured mediation, human security monitoring, and inclusive, community-led institution-building efforts. This Jammu Kashmir Council on Foreign Affairs (JKCFA) position paper proposes a framework for peaceful conflict transformation in Jammu and Kashmir.
