Federation of Pakistan

The Federation of Pakistan or the Pakistani federation refers to the political federation of the four provinces and the federal capital within the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The federation is organised as a parliamentary republic with a federal parliament at centre and provincial legislatures in the provinces.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]

Despite being part of the country, Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan (together constituting Pakistan-administered Kashmir) are not included within the federation and have their own political systems established by Pakistan's federal parliament;^[a] hence, the federation includes only the internationally-recognised sovereign territory of the state while the disputed territories are not integrated in it which Pakistan claims is in compliance with UNSC Resolution 47 and that India breached it with the revocation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir in 2019.^[7]
