Azad Jammu and Kashmir in Pakistan's Post Eighteenth Amendment Scenario: A Critical Analysis for the Constitutional Reforms

Abstract

    This paper aims at critically analyzing the existing constitutional framework in AJK. AJK is administered by Pakistan as a disputed territory. The 18th amendment brought provincial autonomy and decentralization of powers for the provinces of Pakistan. The same principle and constitutional reforms may be introduced in AJK for its constitutional empowerment. This research aims to review the existing constitutional relationships between Pakistan and AJK in the backdrop of relevant resolutions of the UN. The findings of this study are based upon the review of the existing literature and documents as well as qualitative methods based on the Laws, statutory sources, eminent works of the jurists compiled in the books, research papers and articles, and the research-based reports on the constitutional development in AJK. This study suggests concrete reforms in the Legislature, executive, and judiciary of AJK. This study can be very useful and relevant in future deliberations
