CASE

Lahore, May 4 (ANI): Pakistan will approach the

World Bank (WB) for the appointment of an
impartial expert to resolve the Kishanganga
power project dispute with India.
Indus Water Treaty Commissioner Jamaat Ali
Shah said on Sunday that Pakistan was taking
the step because the commission on its own
could not settle the matter.
India has not shown any willingness to sort
out the issue [so] we are approaching the
WB, The Daily Times quoted Jamaat, as
saying.

ADVANTAGES

Is to fight poverty with passion

and professionalism for lasting
results and to help people help
themselves and their
environment by providing
resources, sharing knowledge,
building capacity and forging
partnerships in the public and
private sectors

DARK
SIDE
US held 16.4% of total votes. Major

decisions require an 85% majority, so the

US effectively holds power of veto.
All 11 presidents have been chosen by the
US because it is the bank's biggest
shareholder.
The maximum votes are in hands of US and
European countries so poor countries dont
get much benefits.
World Bank imposes anti-communist
conditions
while giving the loan, as it did with france

CONCLUSION

country resources into poor country
growth. One of the worlds largest
sources of development assistance, the
