The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) is an international organisation of states considering themselves not formally aligned with or against any major power bloc. The movement is largely the brainchild of India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, former president of Egypt Gamal Abdul Nasser and Yugoslav president Josip Broz Tito. It was founded in April 1955; as of 2007, it has 118 members. The purpose of the organisation as stated in the Havana Declaration of 1979 is to ensure "the national independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and security of non-aligned countries" in their "struggle against imperialism, colonialism, neo-colonialism, racism, and all forms of foreign aggression, occupation, domination, interference or hegemony as well as against great power and bloc politics." They represent nearly two-thirds of the United Nations's members and comprise 55% of the world population, particularly countries considered to be developing or part of the third world.

Members have, at various times, included: Yugoslavia, India, Ghana, Pakistan, Algeria, Libya, Sri Lanka, Egypt, Indonesia, Cuba, Colombia, Venezuela, post-1994 South Africa, Iran, Malaysia, and, for a time, the People's Republic of China. Brazil has never been a formal member of the movement, but shares many of the aims of NAM and frequently sends observers to the Non-Aligned Movement's summits. While the organisation was intended to be as close an alliance as NATO or the Warsaw Pact, it has little cohesion and many of its members were actually quite closely aligned with one or another of the great powers. Additionally, some members were involved in serious conflicts with other members (e.g. India and Pakistan, Iran and Iraq). The movement fractured from its own internal contradictions when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979. While the Soviet allies supported the invasion, other members (particularly Islamic nations) of the movement did not.

Because the Non-Aligned Movement was formed as an attempt to thwart the Cold War, it has struggled to find relevance since the Cold War ended. After the breakup of Yugoslavia, a founding member, its successor states of Yugoslavia have expressed little interest in membership, though some have observer status. In 2004, Malta and Cyprus ceased to be members and joined the European Union.

  • @nomadnametab I find the NAM more democratic than the UN. We can clearly see the "success" of UN in Israel, with thousands of refugees daily, the number's grown up to millions since 48 and 67 war. So you can go ahead and bitch and moan all you want about anti-semitism ( of course, you're a zionist, the slightest look wrongly at israel is antisemitic to you), I still find NAM more democratic than UN with it's mafia'wise don corleone Security Council where their one vote weighs more than 350 votes

  • @catgivens im talking about the thugs who run those fake governments and treat their people like crap. these thugs are opportunistic turds. they have the guns and call the shots . and so THEY are the country, not the human beings unfortunate enough to be their subjects. you deny they are haters of western civilization, jews and the us? they have the guts to denounce us and then come with hands stuck out . they play us for chumps. only about 1/4 of them even look like a democratic country.

  • i think all cia in drug up to no good

  • If you call states "turd states", without the thought of the people inside those states, then you will be blinded by your own prejucices

  • In theory it is good. In practice, the NAM allows anti-west, anti-America, anti-Semitic dictators to have a forum to bitch about how shitty we all are. They are toothless and don't try to lift each other out of their morass. Its a Jr. UN General Assembly. I don't know how those democratic or nearly democratic countries in the movement can sit there and listen as their collegues bite the hand that feeds most of them. When turd states like Cuba, Libya and Zimbabwe can call the shots, its worthless
