The '''Line of Control''' ('''LoC''') is a military control line between the [[India]]n and [[Pakistan]]i controlled parts of the former [[Jammu and Kashmir (princely state)|princely state of Jammu and Kashmir]]—a line which does not constitute a legally recognized international boundary, but serves as the [[de facto]] border. It was established as part of the [[Simla Agreement]] at the end of the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1971]]. Both nations agreed to rename the ceasefire line as the "Line of Control" and pledged to respect it without prejudice to their respective positions.<ref>{{harvnb|Wirsing|1998|p=13}}: 'With particular reference to Kashmir, they agreed that: ... in J&K, the Line of Control resulting from the ceasefire of December 17, 1971, shall be respected by both sides without prejudice to the recognised position of either side.'</ref> Apart from minor details, the line is roughly the same as the original [[Karachi Agreement|1949 cease-fire line]].

The part of the former princely state under Indian control is divided into the union territories of [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]] and [[Ladakh]]. The Pakistani-controlled section is divided into [[Azad Kashmir]] and [[Gilgit–Baltistan]]. The northernmost point of the Line of Control is known as [[NJ9842]], beyond which lies the [[Siachen Glacier]], which became a bone of contention in 1984. To the south of the Line of Control, (Sangam, Chenab River, [[Akhnoor]]), lies the border between [[Punjab, Pakistan|Pakistani Punjab]] and the Jammu province, which has an ambiguous status: India regards it as an "international boundary", and Pakistan calls it a "working border".{{sfn|Wirsing|1998|p=10}}

After the [[partition of India]], present day India and Pakistan contested the princely state of [[Jammu and Kashmir (princely state)|Jammu and Kashmir]] – India because of the ruler's accession to the country, and Pakistan by virtue of the state's Muslim majority population. The [[First Kashmir War]] in 1947 lasted more than a year until a ceasefire was arranged through [[UN mediation of Kashmir|UN mediation]]. Both sides agreed on a [[Karachi Agreement|ceasefire line]].{{sfn|Wirsing|1998|p=4-7}}

After another [[1965 Indo-Pakistani War|Kashmir War]] in 1965, and the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1971]] (which saw [[Bangladesh]] become independent), only minor modifications had been effected in the original ceasefire line. In the ensuing [[Simla Agreement]] in 1972, both countries agreed to convert the ceasefire line into a "Line of Control" (LoC) and observe it as a de facto border that armed action should not violate.
