India rejects Hague court order to restore Indus waters pact with Pakistan

India has refused to comply with a Permanent Court of Arbitration ruling that it restore the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan, asserting the court lacks jurisdiction over its sovereign decisions. This marks a significant escalation in the long-running water-sharing dispute, potentially destabilizing regional water security and bilateral relations. The legal and diplomatic fallout remains uncertain, with Pakistan likely to seek further international arbitration or political support.
