pakistan urged india to restore the indus water treaty said the treaty is still valid

Pakistan has urged India to immediately restore the Indus Water Treaty. In a statement released on Monday, Pakistan’s Foreign Office said that the recent decision of the Permanent Mediations Court in Hague proves that the treaty is completely valid and active. Citing the supplementary decision pronounced by the arbitration court on 27 June, Pakistan said, “India does not have any one -sided action in the operation of this treaty.”

Through this statement, Pakistan has appealed to India to fulfill its obligations of the treaty honestly. Significantly, India had announced the postponement of the Indus Water Treaty just a day after the Pakistan -backed terrorist attack in Pahalgam. The treaty took place between India and Pakistan in 1960 over the sharing of water associated with the Indus river system.

After the attack, India accelerated its strategic response to diplomatic and military fronts as well as water management levels, under which the Indus Water Treaty was suspended. India has also made it clear that it never recognized the structure of dispute resolution with Pakistan. India has also rejected the decision of the Permanent Arbitration Court, in which Pakistan’s objections were heard on the design of two hydroelectric projects.

Pakistan Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar also said in a post on social media platform ‘X’, “The decision of the mediation court confirms that the Indus Water Treaty is legally valid. India cannot postpone it arbitrarily.” He also added that, “International treaties are respected by all countries and they should be followed not only in words but also with spirit.”
