Pakistan ‘welcomes’ Hague Court's order on Indus Water Treaty after India rejects ruling
Earlier in the day, India rejected the ruling and said that it had never recognised the existence of the court in The Hague.
Pakistan expressed satisfaction with the Hague Arbitration Court's ruling on the Indus Water Treaty, following India's rejection of the decision. The court's order sets aside India's suspension of the treaty, which was initiated after a terror attack in Pahalgam in April 2022 that killed 26 people. India has consistently rejected the court, claiming it is "illegally constituted" and has no jurisdiction.
The Indian government has stated that its decision to suspend the treaty remains in effect. The Hague Arbitration Court initially asked India to limit work on the Ratle hydroelectric project in Jammu and Kashmir, but India rejected this ruling. Pakistan approached the court earlier this year, warning that any denial of its water share from cross-border rivers would be considered an act of war.
