The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) is a political forum founded in 1961, primarily by leaders from newly independent countries who sought to maintain their neutrality and independence during the Cold War. The movement aimed to create a group of nations that would not align with either the Western bloc (led by the United States) or the Eastern bloc (led by the Soviet Union).
Key principles of the Non-Aligned Movement include advocating for peace, sovereignty, and non-interference in the internal affairs of nations. NAM aimed to promote economic development, social justice, and equality in the global order. Founding members included leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru of India, Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt, and Josip Broz Tito of Yugoslavia.
Despite evolving geopolitical dynamics and the end of the Cold War, NAM continued to exist, attracting a diverse group of member nations. Over the years, NAM has addressed issues such as disarmament, human rights, and economic development, promoting a multipolar world order and fostering cooperation among nations that choose not to align with major power blocs.
