Projecting the issue as an international problem has been met with criticism on account of the fact that the Kashmir dispute was declared a bilateral matter between India and Pakistan as part of the Simla agreement.

[12] On 12 September, Prime Minister of Pakistan Liaquat Ali Khan held a meeting with military and civilian officials where a go-ahead was given to two plans: raise a tribal force to attack Kashmir from the north and arm the rebels in Poonch.

Pakistan's reluctance to withdraw its troops and tribesmen led to a situation where implementation of the UN resolution was impossible.

The problem was further compounded when Pakistan "re-enacted" the 1947 tribal invasion in 1965 and has been directly involved in instigating violence in the valley since 1989.

[14] The low intensity conflict relies on proxy militants and political groups that further try to portray separatism as a just cause of "Kashmiris".
