The 1960 Indus Waters Treaty between India and Pakistan has survived “two wars”, a high-level UN official said underlining water also represents a source of cooperation and not just conflict. UN Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson’s remarks came at a General Assembly high-level side event on “water as a source of peace” even as the Treaty cropped up amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan over the terror attack on the Uri army base.
