BIG BREAKING
The recent ruling by the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague has stirred significant controversy. The court has mandated that India must adhere to the Indus Waters Treaty, specifically instructing India to allow western river flows to Pakistan. This decision is critical as it underscores the importance of international treaties in managing vital water resources, particularly in regions with complex geopolitical tensions.
The Indus Waters Treaty, signed in 1960, is a pivotal agreement governing the water-sharing rights of the Indus River system between India and Pakistan. It aims to provide a framework for cooperation and conflict resolution. The court’s ruling emphasizes that both nations are bound by this treaty, which has often been a point of contention.
