Treaty Waters: India's Water Diplomacy Tested by International Tribunal The Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in The Hague has delivered a verdict in a long standing dispute over water rights between India and Pakistan, ordering New Delhi to uphold its obligations under the 1960 Indus Water Treaty.
This ruling comes at a time when tensions between the two nuclear armed neighbors have been escalating, with Islamabad accusing India of seeking to "weaponize" the region's precious water resources.
At its core, this dispute is not just about water; it's about control and influence in one of the most sensitive regions on earth.
