Despite the ceasefire in Kashmir at the end of November 2003, there is serious potential for another violent crisis. All sides will have to reconsider current approaches if peace is to be achieved. ICG is publishing simultaneously three reports which, taken together, set out the public and private positions of the Indian and Pakistani governments, political leaders and media and examine the history of the crisis and past efforts to resolve it. Including an earlier report on views from within the Kashmir Valley, the series analyses the positions and looks at the constraints in terms of ending the conflict, as they are perceived on all sides. A subsequent final report will offer extensive recommendations on how to move forward with a process of reconciliation between India and Pakistan and within Kashmir.
