India Suspends Indus Waters Accord with Pakistan

Published on 5.24.25

  The Indus Waters Treaty, signed in 1960, has been a cornerstone of cooperation on water sharing between India and Pakistan. However, recent events have strained this relationship, leading to India's decision to put the treaty on hold. India cited climate change and glacial melt as factors contributing to the treaty's suspension, highlighting the impact of these changes on water availability in the region. The Indian government has also stated that Pakistan's support for cross-border terrorism is a significant issue, with over 20,000 Indians killed in terrorist attacks in the last four decades. This history of non-compliance by Pakistan has led India to reassess its commitment to the treaty and consider alternative arrangements for managing shared water resources. The suspension of the treaty is a clear indication that India will not tolerate continued support for terrorism from Pakistan.
