We Will Never Accept The Durand Line!

Legal history of the Durand Line. All the treaties and agreements have been analyzed and kept at the appendix for your read. The author argues that Afghanistan did have the legal rights to repudiate the Durand. The Durand Line (Pashto: د ډیورنډ کرښه‎) is the 2,250-kilometer (1,400 mi) long border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. It was established in 1893 by agreement between Sir Mortimer Durand, a British diplomat and civil servant of British India, and Abdur Rahman Khan, the Afghan Amir, to fix the limit of their respective spheres of influence and improve diplomatic relations and trade. Afghanistan ceded various frontier areas to British India to prevent invasion of further areas of the country. Afghanistan was considered by the British as an independent princely state at the time, although the British controlled its foreign affairs and diplomatic relations.
