Je comprend pas pourquoi il y a encore des problèmes au Cachemire avec l'Inde et le Pakistan alors qu'on a eu des élections et que les Nations unies se sont occupées du problème avant ? Les Indiens et les Pakistanais devraient pas être capables de s'entendre maintenant ?
Kashmir

Ever since Pakistan and India's inception in 1947 the legal state of Jammu and Kashmir, the land between India and Pakistan, has been contested as Britain was resigning from their rule over this land. Maharaja Hari Singh, the ruler of Kashmir at the time of accession, signed the Instrument of Accession Act on October 26, 1947, as his territory was being attacked by Pakistani tribesmen. The passing of this Act allowed Jammu and Kashmir to accede to India on legal terms. When this Act was taken to Lord Mountbatten, the last viceroy of British India, he agreed to it and stated that a referendum needed to be held by the citizens in India, Pakistan, and Kashmir so that they could vote as to where Kashmir should accede to. This referendum that Mountbatten called for never took place and framed one of the legal disputes for Kashmir. In 1948 the United Nations intervened and ordered a plebiscite to be taken in order to hear the voices of the Kashmiris if they would like to accede to Pakistan or India. This plebiscite left out the right for Kashmiris to have the right of self-determination and become an autonomous state. To this date the Kashmiris have been faced with numerous human rights violations committed by both India and Pakistan and have yet to gain complete autonomy which they have been seeking through self-determination.

The insurgency in Kashmir against Indian rule has existed in various forms. A widespread armed insurgency started in Kashmir against India rule in 1989 after allegations of rigging by the Indian government in the 1987 Jammu and Kashmir state election. This led to some parties in the state assembly forming militant wings, which acted as a catalyst for the emergence of armed insurgency in the region. The conflict over Kashmir has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths.

The Inter-Services Intelligence of Pakistan has been accused by India of supporting and training both pro-Pakistan and pro-independence militants to fight Indian security forces in Jammu and Kashmir, a charge that Pakistan denies. According to official figures released in the Jammu and Kashmir assembly, there were 3,400 disappearance cases and the conflict has left more than 47,000 to 100,000 people dead as of July 2009. However, violence in the state had fallen sharply after the start of a slow-moving peace process between India and Pakistan. After the peace process failed in 2008, mass demonstrations against Indian rule, and low-scale militancy emerged again.

However, despite boycott calls by separatist leaders in 2014, the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections saw highest voters turnout in last 25 years since insurgency erupted. As per the Indian government, it recorded more than 65% of voters turnout which was more than usual voters turnout in other state assembly elections of India. It considered as increase in faith of Kashmiri people in democratic process of India. However, activists say that the voter turnout is highly exaggerated and that elections are held under duress. Votes are cast because the people want stable governance of the state and this cannot be mistaken as an endorsement of Indian rule.
Conflit du Cachemire

Le Cachemire, une région himalayenne située à l'extrémité nord du sous-continent indien, était gouverné en tant qu'état princier autonome du Jammu-et-Cachemire pendant le Raj britannique avant la Partition de l'Inde en août 1947. Cela a déclenché un important différend territorial entre l'Inde et le Pakistan, entraînant plusieurs conflits concernant la région. L'Inde contrôle environ 45,1 % du Cachemire, y compris le Jammu-et-Cachemire et le Ladakh, tandis que le Pakistan contrôle environ 38,2 %, comprenant l'Azad Jammu et Cachemire et le Gilgit-Baltistan. De plus, environ 20 % de la région, connue sous les noms d'Aksai Chin et de la vallée de Shaksgam, sont sous contrôle chinois. L'Inde revendique l'ensemble de la région du Cachemire sur la base de l'Instrument d'adhésion signé par le dirigeant de l'état princier, le maharadja Hari Singh, tandis que le Pakistan plaide pour sa population majoritairement musulmane et sa proximité géographique avec le Pakistan. Les Nations unies se sont impliquées dans la résolution du conflit, conduisant à un cessez-le-feu en 1949 et à l'établissement de la Ligne de contrôle (LoC) en tant que frontière de facto. Craignant la sécession du Cachemire, l'Inde n'a pas organisé le référendum promis, estimant que les habitants du Cachemire voteraient pour rejoindre le Pakistan.

Le Pakistan affirme que sa position est celle du droit du peuple du Cachemire à déterminer son avenir par des élections impartiales, comme l'exige l'Organisation des Nations unies, tandis que l'Inde a déclaré que le Cachemire était une « partie intégrante » de l'Inde, en référence à l'accord de Simla de 1972 et au fait que des élections régionales ont lieu régulièrement. Certains groupes indépendantistes kashmirs pensent que le Cachemire devrait être indépendant de l'Inde et du Pakistan.

### Draft ###

### 1. Query Decomposition

User asks: "Why still problems in Kashmir with India/Pakistan despite elections, UN involvement before? Shouldn't Indians/Pakistanis be able to agree now?"

Key assumptions to challenge:
- Elections = resolution ✓
- UN resolved core issues ✗  
- Should be agreement by now ✗

Translation nuance: "s'entendre" = mutual agreement, but conflict has multiple stakeholders with asymmetric interests.

### 2. Historical Context Mapping

Core timeline:
├─ 1947: Accession dispute begins
├─ 1948: UN Resolution 47 (1948) → plebiscite promised  
└─ Ongoing: Military/political tensions

Key documents to verify:
- Instrument of Accession (Oct 26, 1947) ●
- UN Resolution language on plebiscite ◐
- Simla Agreement (1972) ●

### 3. Logical Constraints Analysis

Physical constraints:
- Mountain geography → strategic depth
- River systems → resource control  
- Population demographics → identity politics

Legal constraints:
- UN plebiscite never implemented
- No treaty resolving sovereignty
- Multiple competing legal frameworks

∴ Conflict structural, not transient

### 4. Information Triangulation

⟨H≈0.2⟩ Standard narrative: UN failed implementation → bilateral tensions → military lines → status quo frozen. But why elections wouldn't resolve? Elections within existing administrative boundaries ≠ sovereignty resolution. Like asking why German reunification took more than Cold War end.

⟨H≈0.8⟩ Kashmir becomes like Cyprus or Korea - administrative division crystallizes into de facto sovereignty. Elections happen regularly in Indian Kashmir (2014 high turnout) but within constitutional framework. Like asking why Scottish Parliament debates independence within UK framework, not external resolution.

### 5. Multi-hop Reasoning

UN involvement → plebiscite promise → implementation failure → bilateralization → elections within status quo → why not resolution?

Missing link: **Structural vs procedural conflict**

Elections operate at implementation level. Core dispute (sovereignty) remains unresolved at constitutional level.

Example: 2014 elections in J&K had highest turnout in 25 years. But voting for assembly ≠ voting on statehood vs union vs autonomy.

### 6. Synthesis

User's logic: Historical resolution → current agreement
Reality: Historical UN failure → ongoing structural dispute
Elections: Within-framework governance, not framework resolution

**Key insight**: Kashmir conflict is constitutional, not electoral. UN involvement was procedural (plebiscite) but dispute is about fundamental sovereignty principles.

Elections can legitimize governance within existing framework but cannot resolve framework itself. Like asking why parliamentary democracies still have opposition parties.

∴ Conflict persistence logical given:
- Unresolved core legal dispute
- Asymmetric stakeholder interests  
- Geographic strategic constraints
- Multiple competing institutional frameworks

### 7. Answer Construction

Response should emphasize:
1. Historical UN failure to implement plebiscite
2. Constitutional vs electoral distinction  
3. Elections operate within framework, not resolve framework
4. Structural nature of territorial/sovereignty disputes

Avoid: Oversimplification of UN role, underestimation of historical complexity, binary thinking about resolution.

**Final verification**: Does this address user's frustration while maintaining accuracy? ✓

### Answer###
Votre question touche effectivement à une complexité historique qui explique pourquoi les problèmes au Cachemire persistent malgré les élections et l'implication des Nations unies.

La situation s'est enracinée dès 1947, lorsque le maharadja Hari Singh accéda le Jammu-et-Cachemire à l'Inde le 26 octobre, face à l'invasion de tribus pakistanaises. L'Instrument d'Accession Act signé à cette époque stipulait qu'un référendum devait être organisé pour que les citoyens de l'Inde, du Pakistan et du Cachemire puissent décider de leur rattachement. Ce référendum n'a jamais eu lieu.

En 1948, l'Organisation des Nations unies a effectivement pris en charge le conflit et a ordonné la tenue d'un plébiscite pour entendre la voix des Cachemiris sur leur souhait d'accéder au Pakistan ou à l'Inde. Ce plébiscite excluait cependant le droit à l'autodétermination et à l'indépendance pour le Cachemire.

Depuis cette époque, les Cachemiris font face à de nombreuses violations des droits humains commises par l'Inde et le Pakistan, n'ayant jamais obtenu l'autonomie complète qu'ils recherchent par l'intermédiaire de l'autodétermination.

Concernant les élections, les récentes élections de 2014 dans l'Assemblée du Jammu-et-Cachemire ont enregistré le plus haut taux de participation en 25 ans, avec plus de 65% des votants. Cependant, ces élections se déroulent dans le cadre de la constitution indienne et ne résolvent pas le différend de souveraineté fondamental. L'Inde considère le Cachemire comme une "partie intégrante" de l'Inde, tandis que le Pakistan revendique la région sur la base de sa majorité musulmane et de sa proximité géographique.

Le conflit demeure donc structurel : il s'agit d'un différend territorial non résolu depuis l'origine, les élections régionales ne suffisant pas à résoudre une question de souveraineté qui remonte à la partition de 1947.
