Key Features and Mechanisms
Water Allocation:
India: 20% of the Indus system’s water (33 MAF from Eastern Rivers).
Pakistan: 80% of the water (135 MAF from Western Rivers).
Permanent Indus Commission: Ensures ongoing cooperation and serves as the first level of dispute resolution.
Dispute Resolution: A three-tier mechanism (PIC, Neutral Expert, Court of Arbitration) has resolved disputes like Baglihar (2007) and Kishenganga (2013).
World Bank’s Role: Acts as a mediator and facilitator, not an arbitrator, and oversees financial and dispute resolution processes.
No Exit Clause: The treaty cannot be unilaterally abrogated; termination requires a new mutually agreed treaty (Article XII(4)).

We build dams. We stop water. Do what you can. Legalities do not matter.
If a country can go to war, it can also suspend treaties.
