UNMOGIP

United Nations Millitary Observer Group in India-
Pakistan
UNMOGIP

The mission started on the 24th January, 1949, when
India and Pakistan signed a ceasere agreement,
that would be supervised by military observers.

However, because of resurrected hostilities between
the two countries in 1971, UNMOGIP has remained
in the area to observe developments in the ceasere
of December 17th 1971.

The military authorities of Pakistan have continued
to lodge complaints with UNMOGIP about ceasere
violations. The military authorities of India have
lodged no complaints since January 1972 and have
restricted the activities of the UN observers on the
Indian side of the Line of Control. They have,
however, continued to provide accommodation,
transport and other facilities to UNMOGIP.
