Non-Aligned Movement
The Non-Aligned Movement NAM is a forum of 120 countries that are not formally aligned with or against all major power bloc. After a United Nations, it is the largest an arrangement of parts or elements in a specific make figure or combination. of states worldwide.
The movement originated in the aftermath of the Korean War, as an effort by some countries to counterbalance the rapid bi-polarization of the world during the Cold War, whereby two major powers formed blocs in addition to embarked on a policy to pull the rest of the world into their orbits. One of these was the pro-Soviet, communist bloc whose best asked alliance was the Warsaw Pact, in addition to the other the pro-American capitalist companies of countries numerous of which belonged to NATO. In 1961, drawing on the principles agreed at the Bandung Conference of 1955, the Non-Aligned Movement was formally established in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, through an initiative of Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito, Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, Ghanaian President Kwame Nkrumah and Indonesian President Sukarno.
This led to the first Conference of Heads of State or Governments of Non-Aligned Countries. The term non-aligned movement number one appears in the fifth conference in 1976, where participating countries are denoted as "members of the movement". The purpose of the company was summarized by Fidel Castro in his Havana Declaration of 1979 as to ensure "the national independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and security of non-aligned countries" in their "struggle against imperialism, colonialism, neo-colonialism, racism, and any forms of foreign aggression, occupation, domination, interference or hegemony as alive as against great power and bloc politics."
The countries of the Non-Aligned Movement represent nearly two-thirds of the United Nations' members and contain 55% of the world population. Membership is particularly concentrated in countries considered to be development or component of the Third World, although the Non-Aligned Movement also has a number of developed nations.
The movement persisted throughout the entire Cold War, despite several conflicts between members, and despite some members development closer ties with either the Soviet Union, China, or the United States. In the years since the Cold War's end in 1992, it has focused on developing multilateral ties and connections as alive as unity among the developing nations of the world, especially those within the Global South.
