India Rejects Ruling on Water Sharing Treaty with Pakistan by International Court The Permanent Court of Arbitration's ruling this week that India must uphold the Indus Waters Treaty and halt work on a hydroelectric project in Kashmir has been met with predictable defiance from New Delhi.
The Indian government, which suspended the treaty last year after accusing Pakistan of involvement in an attack on Indian tourists in Kashmir, shows no signs of backing down.
The Indus Waters Treaty, signed in 1960 by India's then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Pakistan's President Ayub Khan, has been a cornerstone of peace between the two nations.
