Beth Walker: Will the Convention have any significant effect on discussions over the use of international rivers in China and South Asia?

Srinivas Chokkakula – researcher in inter-state water issues at the Centre for Policy Research, New Delhi:

South Asian countries and China are not legally bound by the Convention as none of them ratified it. Only party states are bound by the Convention, so arguably the Convention’s entry into force has no effect on non-signatories in the region.

Geopolitical and strategic imperatives do not justify a state becoming a party to the Convention unless other states with transboundary water associations also become parties. For instance, India cannot find it prudent to ratify when China votes against.

However, a clear impact of Convention’s entry into force is that it elevates the international customary law of transboundary water conflicts, creating a new reference point. Its status as the UN Convention draws attention to the codified principles of international customary law of transboundary water cooperation. It offers legitimate and effective practices for data sharing, negotiation and dispute resolution that could be followed in bilateral or multilateral water-sharing arrangements. The Convention provides a basis for transboundary water negotiations and enables reconsideration of existing arrangements, which tend to be fragmented and asymmetrical.

Good Idea you people can refrain untill hell freezes over.

All i can say about this indian move is

Jithay di Khoti uthay aa khaloti

After debating about how to block water ways to Pakistan they finally decided to not talk about it

isn't the source of Indus river from Tibet, China than run through Pakistan before india?

"Despite the strong support the UNWC received during the adoption process in 1997, it has not yet entered into force."

These tricky Euro put the two letters "UN" in front and people think it's automatically a UN agenda.

Started by four dudes for european countries only initially. It's not going work because water is important in times of war and for keeping countries in check.

No it first goes through Indian occupied kashmir then to gilgit baltistan

 

[unbiasedopinion]

If you dont know the law ...shut up...like your pm...
This is even worse nightmere than surgical strikes...
Pakistan has inherent right to all 6 rivers... we gave up right to 3 ....world bank is party to agreement which actually says no party can revoke agreement unilaterally...

Revike agreement ...we than have right to all 6 rivers ...stop rivers.... face UN sanctions...

Its similar to how afghanistan has access to ports in pakistan and we cannot stop its trade even if we want to

Right to what exactly!!!

Can you confirm if this is official Chinese policy or if not stated but at-least there is consensus in Chinese polity about it.
