This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. In 2004 the U.N. Security Council adopted Resolution 1540, a non-proliferation resolution by which it decided that all States shall refrain from supporting by any means non-State actors that attempt to acquire, use or transfer nuclear, chemical or biological weapons and their delivery systems. On Oct. 1, 2009, The Stanley Fdn. organized a ¿civil society¿ session, ¿Resolution 1540: At a Crossroads¿ at the U.N. in New York City, to make a contribution to the official Comprehensive Review of the Status of Implementation on Resolution 1540 conducted by the members of the 1540 Committee. This report summarizes the main conclusions, recommendations, findings, and arguments that were given during the four panel sessions of the side event.

India, which had been created as a civic polity, initially sought to hold on to this Muslim-majority state to demonstrate its secular credentials. Pakistan, in turn, had laid claim to Kashmir because it had been created as the homeland for the Muslims of South Asia. After the break-up of Pakistan in 1971 the Pakistani irredentist claim to Kashmir lost substantial ground. If Pakistan could not cohere on the basis of religion alone it had few moral claims on its co-religionists in Kashmir. Similarly, in the 1980s, as the practice of Indian secularism was eroded, India's claim to Kashmir on the grounds of secularism largely came apart. Today their respective claims to Kashmir are mostly on the basis of statecraft. This title provides a comprehensive assessment of a number of different facets of the on-going dispute over Kashmir between India and Pakistan. Among other matters, it examines the respective endgames of both states, the evolution of American policy toward the dispute, the dangers of nuclear esculation in the region and the state of the insurgency in the Indian-controlled portion of the disputed state.
