Released on the 64^thanniversary of the signing of the Indus Waters Treaty, Blood Flows with the Water: An International Legal Assessment of the Indus Waters Treaty provides groundbreaking legal analysis regarding the Indus Waters Treaty (1960) with a focus on Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir. The Indus Waters Treaty governs water rights with respect to a globally critical fresh water resource in one of the most geopolitically dangerous, climatically impacted and systematically ignored parts of the world. Through accessible legal analysis, this report demonstrates:

- The Treaty violates international treaty law, international human rights law, international humanitarian law and international water law.

- The Treaty has promoted in and continues to cause various grave violations of international law.  

- The Treaty is invalid under international law.  

Ultimately, this report argues that the Treaty should be replaced with an equitable sharing arrangement consistent with international law.
