United Nations Security Council Resolution 47 relating to Kashmir conflict is adopted.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 47, adopted on April 21, 1948, is a pivotal document in the history of the Kashmir conflict between India and Pakistan. It followed the earlier Resolution 38 and was aimed at de-escalating tensions that had erupted after the partition of British India in 1947, which led to the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir becoming a contested region. Resolution 47 called for Pakistan to withdraw all its nationals and tribal fighters from the territory of Jammu and Kashmir, and for India to reduce its military presence to a minimum level necessary to maintain law and order. After these steps, the resolution proposed that a plebiscite be held under United Nations auspices to allow the people of Jammu and Kashmir to determine whether they wanted to join India or Pakistan. The resolution also established the United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan (UNCIP) to mediate and ensure compliance. However, due to mutual distrust and differing interpretations of the withdrawal process, the conditions outlined in the resolution were never fully implemented, leaving the conflict unresolved and the region divided to this day.
