Arbitration Court Upholds Indus Treaty India Rejects
The Permanent Court of Arbitration confirmed that the Indus Waters Treaty remains valid and is neither annulled nor suspended, despite India’s announcement of its suspension due to new hydropower projects. The court ruled that India is not permitted to continue construction of dams or to modify the project's schedule, and it mandated that India notify Pakistan and the experts of any changes. The treaty, signed in 1960, governs the division of water from six rivers within the basin and has been a source of tension between India and Pakistan regarding the implementation of hydroelectric projects on the shared rivers.
