Hasil	Diadopsi
Komposisi Dewan Keamanan

Resolusi ini merekomendasikan demi menjamin imparsialitas plebisit ini, Pakistan menarik semua anggota suku dan warga negara yang memasuki kawasan tersebut dengan tujuan bertempur dan India meninggalkan sejumlah kecil pasukan untuk menegakkan ketertiban sipil. Komisi juga akan mengirim beberapa pemantau ke kawasan tersebut untuk menjamin resolusi ini dipatuhi.

Pakistna mengabaikan mandat PBB dan terus berperang dan bertahan di wilayah Kashmir miliknya. Subsequently India refused to implement the plebiscite claiming the withdrawal of Pakistan forces was a prerequisite as per this resolution. Pada tahun 1990, setelah hampir empat dasawarsa, Amerika Serikat berubah posisi dan tidak lagi mendorong plebisit di Kashmir dengan alasan sengketa ini harus diselesaikan melalui negosiasi langsung antara India dan Pakistan.

Resolusi ini diadopsi paragraf per paragraf. Tidak ada pemungutan suara.

One of the earliest applications of Chapter VI of the United Nations Charter was on the Kashmir dispute. Following negotiations and agreements among the parties, the Security Council adopted resolution 47 (1948) of 21 April 1948 which promised a free and fair plebiscite under UN auspices to enable the people of Jammu and Kashmir to determine whether they wish to join Pakistan or India.

"There are two sorts of security council resolution: those under 'chapter 6' are non-binding recommendations dealing with the peaceful resolution of disputes; those under 'chapter 7' give the council broad powers, including war, to deal with 'threats to the peace ... or acts of aggression'."

'Chapter VI establishes the appropriate methods of settling international disputes and the Security Council's powers in relation to them. It is generally agreed that resolutions under Chapter VI are advisory rather than binding. These resolutions have generally been operative only with the consent of all parties involved. Traditionally, the Chapter has not been interpreted to support collective intervention by member states in the affairs of another member state.'Collective Insecurities by Azeem Suterwalla.
