India's Ministry of External Affairs stated that the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague has no jurisdiction over its sovereign decisions, categorically rejecting the tribunal's ruling that the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty remains fully binding. The court had ordered India to limit construction on the Ratle Hydro-Electric Plant in Kashmir. India had suspended the treaty in April last year following an attack in Kashmir, which Pakistan denied involvement。Pakistan welcomed the tribunal’s interim measures and is considering its next steps.
