Non-Aligned Movement (NAM)

The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) is a group of countries that chose not to align with major power blocs during the Cold War, particularly the United States and the Soviet Union. Founded in 1961, NAM aims to promote peace, independence, and cooperation among developing nations. Members advocate for mutual respect, common interests, and political and economic cooperation, while asserting their sovereignty. Today, NAM continues to focus on global issues like economic inequality, disarmament, and the rights of developing countries, promoting a world where nations can collaborate without being dominated by powerful allies.
