On February 24, 2021, India and Pakistan announced a renewal of the cease-fire along the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir. Three years later, the cease-fire has become one of the longest-lasting in the countries’ 75-year shared history. However, Christopher Clary’s new USIP report, “The 2021 India-Pakistan Ceasefire: Origins, Prospects, and Lessons Learned,” argues that the cease-fire remains vulnerable to shocks from terrorist attacks, changes in leadership and shifting regional relations.
On March 8, USIP hosted a conversation on the LoC cease-fire that explored findings from this new USIP report, the factors that have help keep the cease-fire in place, and what new regional dynamics could mean for its sustainability in the future.

The United States Institute of Peace is a national, nonpartisan, independent institute, founded by Congress and dedicated to the proposition that a world without violent conflict is possible, practical and essential for U.S. and global security. In conflict zones abroad, the Institute works with local partners to prevent, mitigate, and resolve violent conflict. To reduce future crises and the need for costly interventions, USIP works with governments and civil societies to build local capacities to manage conflict peacefully. The Institute pursues its mission by linking research, policy, training, analysis and direct action to support those who are working to build a more peaceful, inclusive world.
