India Rejects Arbitration Award on Indus Waters Treaty
India has rejected an award from a Court of Arbitration concerning the Indus Waters Treaty. The government stated that the "illegally constituted" tribunal lacked jurisdiction and that the treaty remains in abeyance. The arbitration tribunal had ordered India to halt work on two hydropower projects in Kashmir, asserting that the Indus Waters Treaty remains fully in force. This decision follows India's previous stance of suspending the treaty.
