Precedence case

Post by DefendTheTruth » 26 Apr 2025, 11:55

is very important in the judicial discipline, both in the national legal interpretation of the law and international jurisdiction.

India has simply cut off water supply to Pakistan after it claimed the later has its hands in a terrorist act in the Kashmir region of India, where around 26 terrorists were murdered recently.

India's message is clear: you can't drink my water and at the same time keep funding terrorists that are committing heinous crimes in my territory. Enough is enough, said India.

This is a very important precedence for the international treaties dealing with water sharing.

If the case of India could receive tacit or explicit admission in the international judicial systems, then Egypt is in a hot water. It has been drinking from Ethiopia's water for the memorable time and at the same time actively engaged itself in training, arming, maintaining all sorts of dissidents that have spilled uncountable citizens of the nations' blood. Ethiopia has now a clear precedence to bring Egypt to the international court of justice and cut off the flow of the nation's water to the country of Egypt on top of that.
