| Description: | The troubled United Nations is facing still another crisis. This one is disputed Kashmir. The UN Security Council meets on the problems that has brought India and Pakistan to a state of War. When India and Pakistan won their independence, they fought for two years who would govern the area. In 1949 the UN established a cease fire line after the two countries had fought over the disputed territory after gaining independence from Britain.
