Pakistan Urges UN Action to Restore Indus Waters Treaty Amid India’s Hydropower Developments
Pakistan's UN Ambassador has called for the Security Council to encourage India to reinstate the Indus Waters Treaty, inactive for a year. The ongoing suspension poses risks to Pakistan's agricultural and ecological stability.

The Indus Waters Treaty (IWT), established in 1960, has been suspended for over a year, prompting concern from Pakistan's Ambassador to the UN. India’s recent approval of the Dulhasti Stage-II Hydropower Project is viewed as a violation of the IWT, endangering Pakistan's water security.
The current situation affects agricultural productivity and ecological balance in Pakistan. Ensuring strict adherence to the IWT is critical for maintaining bilateral relations and following international water governance standards. The ongoing treaty suspension raises significant risks for regional stability and water resource management.
