Non-Aligned Movement

The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) is a group of countries that chose not to align with any major power bloc, especially during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. Established in 1961, its aim is to promote peace, independence, and cooperation among developing nations. Members advocate for sovereign equality, anti-colonialism, and mutual respect, often addressing issues like economic development and social justice. NAM seeks to give a voice to nations that may feel marginalized in global politics, emphasizing the importance of neutrality and solidarity among its members.
