Pakistan Secures Major Win Against India in Indus Waters Treaty Dispute
Pakistan has achieved a significant legal success against India in the ongoing dispute under the Indus Waters Treaty, as an international arbitration court has ordered India to submit records related to its hydropower projects on Pakistani rivers.
According to the ruling, the Court of Arbitration has directed India to provide operational logbooks of the Baglihar and Kishanganga hydropower projects by February 9. The court stated that if India fails to submit the required records, it will have to formally explain the reasons for non-compliance.
The court further instructed Pakistan to clarify by February 2 which specific documents it seeks from India. Hearings for the second phase of the case are scheduled to take place on February 2 and 3 in The Hague.
The decision is being viewed as a major development in Pakistan’s favor in the long-standing water dispute with India under the Indus Waters Treaty.
