'No jurisdiction, illegal': India tears into Hague court's Indus Waters Treaty award The recent ruling by the Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague on the Indus Water Treaty has sparked a heated reaction from India.
This decision is not unexpected, given the treaty's long and contentious history. India and Pakistan have been disputing their shared water resources for decades.
The 1960 treaty, signed by Jawaharlal Nehru and Ayub Khan, aimed to settle this dispute amicably through arbitration. However, India has consistently raised questions about the efficacy of this mechanism.
