Perek 7
Halacha 1
The following rules apply when there were many individuals who were ritually impure due to contact with a human corpse on the first Pesach. If they were the lesser portion of the Jewish people, their offering is postponed to the second Pesach like other impure individuals. If, however, the majority of the Jewish people were impure due to contact with a human corpse or the priests or the sacred utensils were impure due to contact with a human corpse, their offering is not postponed. Instead, they should all offer the Paschal sacrifice in a state of ritual impurity, those ritually impure together with those who are pure.
This is derived from Numbers 9:6 which states: "And the men who were impure because of contact with the corpse of a human soul." Implied is that the offerings of individuals are postponed until the second Pesach, but those of the community are not postponed. This concept applies only with regard to the ritual impurity associated with a human corpse, as explained in Hilchot Bi'at HaMikdash.

There are those who really want to resume the Korban Pesach but are prevented from doing so by the Israeli authorities (due to the arabs). Here is an article which discuses this:

--- Quote ---Rav Ariel: Let Us Sacrifice on the Mount
Rav Yisrael Ariel says there Jews must make Pesach sacrifice even without Temple.
Gil Ronen
Rav Yisrael Ariel says Jews must carry out the Pesach sacrifice of a lamb or goat even though the Temple has not been rebuilt.
"This reality in which the Temple Mount is in Arab hands must end," he said in an interview with Arutz Sheva Wednesday. "They must open the gates for us. There is no argument that there is a duty to make the Pesach sacrifice even if the Temple is not built."
Rav Ariel calls upon the Chief Rabbis to demand the opening of the gates of the Temple Mount on Friday, the day of the Pesach Seder. "They should make a formal request to the government of Israel, to open the gates of the Temple Mount so we can sacrifice."
"Everything is ready – there are clothes for the Priests, an altar and vessels – all they need to do is open. We have asked the Chief Rabbis several times but have received no answer until now," he said.
The avoidance of making the sacrifice is a grave matter, he said. "We are afraid of our own shadow. What will happen if the gates of the Mount are opened? They are afraid of what others will say, but they do not fear as regards keeping the Torah and Mitzvot."
A person who does not make the sacrifice is punished by "din karet," [lit. -- 'cut off', meaning that a person is cut off from the Nation of Israel], he explained. "It is written: 'that person shall be cut off from his people.'"
