For all its claims to promoting development, the Asian Development Bank is no more than an institution for the promotion of profit - for private capital and for itself. It is a complex apparatus for the creation of ever more favorable market mechanisms and opportunities for the expansion of capital and the accumulation of profits.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) will take the heat in Bali from civil society and the vulnerable sectors in the Asia Pacific region for charges of human rights violations in a two-day international opinion tribunal.
