Un tribunal internaţional cere Indiei să respecte tratatul privind partajarea apelor cu Pakistanul

An international tribunal has mandated India to adhere to its obligations under the 1960 water treaty with Pakistan, which India seeks to suspend. The Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague has prohibited India from proceeding with two hydroelectric projects that may violate the treaty. India has rejected the ruling, asserting it does not recognize the court's legitimacy. Pakistan welcomed the decision, emphasizing that international treaties cannot be unilaterally suspended. The treaty regulates water usage from rivers originating in India but flowing into Pakistan, crucial for millions. Water disputes may escalate tensions in a region facing climate change and population growth.
