Non-alignment Movement (NAM) is an international organization consisting of countries that do not formally align themselves with or against any major power bloc. The purpose is to preserve national independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. NAM was established in 1961 in Belgrade under the leadership of India's Jawaharlal Nehru, Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser, and Yugoslavia's Josip Broz Tito. The objectives of NAM include creating an independent path in world politics without becoming pawns in major power struggles, upholding the right of independent judgement, and fighting against imperialism and neo-colonialism through moderation in relations with all powers.

4. OBJECTIVE
One of the chief objectives of NAM was “to create an independent path in world politics that would not
result in member States becoming pawns in the struggles between the major powers.”
The three elements that define the approach of the organisation are:
◦ Right of independent judgement
◦ Struggle against imperialism and neo-colonialism
◦ Use of moderation in relations with all big powers
In the current times, an objective of the organisation is restructuring the international economic order.
NAM espouses ideals such as the right to self-determination, anti-apartheid, anti-colonialism, national
independence, territorial integrity and sovereignty of nations, anti-imperialism in all forms, non-adherence
to multilateral military pacts, disarmament, against racism, against foreign occupation and domination,
peaceful coexistence among all countries, strengthening the UN, no use of threat of force in international
relations, socio-economic development, etc.

5. NAM Evolution
Most historians agree that the most important antecedent to the formation of the Non-Aligned Movement
was the Bandung Conference of 1955.
◦ The Bandung Asian African Conference brought together 29 heads of state/government of the first post-colonial
generation of leadership from Africa and Asia.
◦ In this conference, the Ten Principles of Bandung were adopted and these would be the guiding principles of NAM.
-Respect for fundamental human rights and of the objectives and principles of the Charter of the United
nations.
-Respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries.
-Recognition of equality among all races and of the equality among all nations, both large and small.
