India and Pakistan have agreed to a ceasefire, but New Delhi has declared the 64-year-old Indus Waters Treaty ‘in abeyance.’ This decision has sparked discussions about the implications for water-sharing in the region and its potential impact beyond South Asia.

The current status of the treaty creates uncertainty about the future of water-sharing agreements in South Asia.
