Abstract
This article provides a summary of the Partial Award issued in the Indus Waters Kishenganga Arbitration between Pakistan and India. It also seeks to place the dispute in its historical and political context. Against this background, it discusses arbitration as an effective medium to resolve state-to-state disputes between two rival nations. The Indus Waters Kishenganga Arbitration demonstrates how arbitration can be an effective method to settle the most sensitive natural resource questions. Current disputes, such as those in the South China Sea and East China Sea, could explore arbitration as an option to resolve their differences.
