What is NAM?

• A group of states that aimed to maintain their independence and did not formally align with either the US or the USSR is known as the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM);
• Established in 1961, the goal of NAM has been to “establish an autonomous route in global politics that would not lead to member States turning into pawns in the conflicts between the great powers;”
• It is the second biggest grouping of various countries after the United Nations;
• NAM History:
  • The idea of a nation’s policies not being in line with others dates back to the Congress of Vienna (1814–15), which recognized Switzerland’s neutrality—the nation’s pledge to stay out of other people’s disputes;
  • The Asia-Africa Bandung Conference, held in Indonesia in 1955, provided the impetus for the group’s fundamental idea;
  • This movement began in the 1950s as an attempt by certain nations to stay out of the divisive Cold War environment between the pro-American capitalist nations of NATO and the Soviet communist nations of the Warsaw Pact.
  • Thephrase “non-aligned movement” was initially used at the fifth conference in 1976, wherein the participating nations were referred to as “members of the movement” and the goal of non-alignment was to preserve one’s capacity for impartial judgment and political freedom;
  • The Havana Declaration of 1979stated that the organization’s mission was to protect “the national independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and security of non-aligned countries” in their fight against imperialism, colonialism, neocolonialism, racism, and all forms of foreign subjugation.
