India bound by Indus Treaty Arbitration
The Permanent Court of Arbitration affirmed that the Indus River Waters Treaty, which is a source of tension between India and Pakistan, remains in force and has not been canceled or suspended, despite India's earlier announcement of suspension due to two water projects. It indicated that India remains bound by the treaty, particularly regarding hydroelectric projects on the western rivers, and imposed restrictions on continuing some construction work and requiring prior notification of any schedule changes. These decisions serve to reinforce the division of the Indus River waters in accordance with the 1960 agreement and confirm India's commitment to its obligations under the treaty.
