#1 "Pakistan had earlier sought the services of a neutral expert appointed by the World Bank for the resolution of Baglihar dispute.

But the verdict went against Pakistan and now the Pakistani authorities are pondering to move the International Court of Justice against the verdict of the neutral expert."

Court shopping??

#2 After Indian Mig 21s shot down a Pakistani Navy Atlantique long-range reconnaissance aircraft, Pakistan went to the ICJ.

The International Court of Justice, principal judicial organ of the United Nations, today declared that it had no jurisdiction to adjudicate upon the dispute brought before it by Pakistan against India in the case concerning the aerial incident of August 10, 1999.

It said India's declaration contained inter alia a reservation according to which ``disputes with the government of any state which is or has been a member of the Commonwealth of nations'' are excluded from the court's jurisdiction

Further, according to the Indus Waters Treaty

The decision of the Neutral Expert on all matters within his competence shall be final and binding, in respect of the particular matter on which the decision is made, upon the Parties and upon any Court of Arbitration established under the provisions of Article IX

#3 Yes, yes, john, but we all know that kufr laws are not binding upon the master religion unless they decide to respect them.

#4 kufr science is also beyond them it seems.

The Indians send them technical data but there appear to be few (if any) hydrologists in Pakistan. They actually admitted to the neutral expert that they didn't understand all the hydrological stuff.

#5 Was it the hydro or the logical part that was the hangup?
