Pakistan Appeals to UNSC for Restoration of Indus Waters Treaty with India
Pakistan has requested the UN Security Council to urge India to fully restore the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) following a year of its suspension. The treaty's suspension poses significant risks to regional peace, security, and humanitarian conditions, warranting urgent international attention.

Pakistan's Ambassador to the UN has urged the Security Council to press India to restore the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT), which has been in abeyance for one year. The treaty, established in 1960, allocates river rights and aims to prevent water from becoming a tool of conflict.
India's recent unilateral actions, including the approval of the Dulhasti Stage-II Hydropower Project, contravene the IWT and threaten Pakistan's water security. The ongoing suspension of the treaty and related projects jeopardizes agriculture and ecological stability in Pakistan. Strict enforcement of the IWT is vital for bilateral stability and adherence to international water governance norms.
