	Supreme Court of Pakistan
		The Court has a number of de jure powers which are outlined in the Constitution of Pakistan as well as de facto powers which many have considered remarkable given the nation's history of military rule during which part or all of the constitution has been suspended.

		Pakistani legal theorists have posited that Pakistan's grundnorm, the basis for its Constitutional convention and system of laws, continues in effect (and the Supreme Court therefore retains its authority) even when the written constitution is suspended by the imposition of a military dictablanda.

		Pakistan has lost national consensus for many reasons but the big reason is that it has not been able to defeat India within a reasonable period of time.
		If Pakistan can create a strong lobby and a climate of opinion in India that realizes the benefits of growing friendly cooperation with Pakistan and if it is more conducive to achieving their other objectives, they may sanction paying a price in Kashmir.
		Pakistan's India policy has been flawed: that there is no military solution to the Kashmir imbroglio is a conclusion that was arrived at after 1965 and 1971 Wars, though for a time only.
