The India-Pakistan relationship is one of the most complex and historically significant in the world. Rooted in a shared history and a tangled web of conflicts, this relationship has been a focal point of global diplomacy for decades. One platform where these disputes often play out is the United Nations (UN), where both countries present their cases, seeking resolutions and international support.

The Kashmir conflict is perhaps the most well-known and enduring of the disputes between India and Pakistan. Both countries claim the region of Jammu and Kashmir in its entirety but control only parts of it. The UN has been involved in Kashmir since 1947 when India and Pakistan approached the international body to mediate the issue. Several UN resolutions have called for a plebiscite in Kashmir to determine its future, but this has not been implemented, leading to ongoing tensions and violence in the region.

Another major dispute that finds its way to the UN involves allegations of state-sponsored terrorism and cross-border incidents. India has accused Pakistan of supporting and harboring terrorist organizations that carry out attacks on Indian soil. These allegations have led to diplomatic standoffs and international scrutiny at the UN.
