The Non-Aligned Movement

The Non-Aligned Movement is an international group of countries that chose not to align with either the United States or the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Founded in 1961, its goal is to promote independence, peace, and cooperation among developing nations. These countries aim to avoid taking sides in global conflicts, advocate for sovereignty, and work together on issues like economic development, anti-colonialism, and human rights. Today, the movement continues to foster dialogue and solidarity among nations that prioritize their independence and collective interests over Cold War rivalries.
