India Must Uphold Indus Waters Treaty: Hague Court Rules in Pakistan’s Favor

Описание: India cannot unilaterally suspend the Indus Waters Treaty. In a major ruling, the Court of Arbitration has held that the 1960 Treaty remains fully in force and that India must continue to meet its obligations to Pakistan under the agreement.

But what does this actually mean?

In this episode of Strategic Drive, we unpack the Court of Arbitration’s ruling on the Indus Waters Treaty and India’s decision to reject the Court’s jurisdiction.

This matters far beyond legal procedure. The Indus system underpins Pakistan’s agriculture, food security, rural livelihoods and long-term economic stability. Reuters reports that the Treaty protects water supply connected to approximately 80% of Pakistani farms.

Watch, share and join the discussion: Can international law protect shared rivers when political relations collapse?
