Operationalizing the Indus Waters Treaty: Case Study of Upper Riparian

Abstract

Indus Waters Treaty is the agreement signed by Pakistan and India in 1960 to solve the water issue that was started after the partition. For some time the treaty was followed by both the parties in full spirit but due to some weak points and shortcomings, India started violating the treaty. Still, the treaty is in operation but only for lower riparian. Pakistan cannot bind India to follow because of flaws within the treaty. The paper is an attempt to highlight the violation of the treaty by India also the shortcomings and defects in the treaty which India is always cashing at every point as it wishes.
