Just for your reference, there is no such UN resolution for water. There are a few:
1. UN Watercourses Convention (1997)
- Global framework for international rivers.
- Principles: equitable use, no significant harm, cooperation.
- India and Pakistan are not parties.
2.
UNECE Water Convention (1992)
- Full name: Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes.
- Originally for Europe, now open to all UN member states.
- Promotes cooperation on shared waters.
- Neither India nor Pakistan is currently a party.
3.
Helsinki Rules (1966)
- Developed by the International Law Association.
- Influential but not a treaty and not legally binding.
- Introduced the concept of "equitable utilization."
4.
Berlin Rules (2004)
- Updated version of the Helsinki Rules.
- Also not a treaty and not legally binding.
Overall, I would say there is no treaty that can force India to share water beyond its obligations. A similar situation exists between India and China, as both countries do not have a water-sharing treaty.
There are also many rivers that flow through multiple countries without such treaties.
This is one reason Pakistan's war threats are empty, because there is no international mechanism that can help it force a different water-sharing arrangement.
Even today if India scrapped IWT treaty, UN or world bank cant do much.
And how is this relevant?
If Pakistan and India were to be signatories, Delhi would already be in de facto breach and it would not alter Delhi's hostility towards Pakistani civilians. Indeed, the Convention in question (the first one you cited) is not there to "override" the IWT, as I have already stated. It is a framework around which any treaty may be constructed. In this case, Delhi has broken a simple bilateral treaty between nation states.
But this should come as no surprise to Pakistan, as water has always been a weapon of choice for Hindustan.
"In December 1947, East Punjab (India) and West Punjab (Pakistan) concluded a Standstill Agreement to continue the pre-partition allocation of the Indus waters until March 31, 1948. On April 1, 1948, the date of expiry of the agreement, East Punjab completely cut off the supply of water to West Punjab. Though the flow of water was restored on April 30, 1948, this incident marked the beginning of international conflict over the Indus River. Eugene Black, the erstwhile President of the World Bank, offered the offices of the Bank to both the countries so they could arrive at a mutually acceptable arrangement.
The Indus Mediations began in 1952 at the Bank’s headquarters in Washington D.C. In 1954, owing to political tension, the Bank abandoned the strategy of integrated development of the river by India and Pakistan. It put forth an alternate proposal to reserve the three rivers lying to the West (Indus, Jhelum and Chenab) for the exclusive consumptive use of Pakistan and the three river lying to the East (Ravi, Beas and Sutlej) for the exclusive consumptive use of India.
Ultimately, the Government of India, the Government of Pakistan and the World Bank signed the IWT on September 19, 1960."

We perhaps never really noticed Hindustani hostility towards our civilians under Congress because of their perpetual state of pretence - it's vile and uncivilised behaviour when one considers it duly. Modi, the useful idiot that he is, states clearly he wishes harm upon civilians. No problem. We will harm back.
