Non–Aligned Movement (NAM)
International Organisations
The Non-Aligned Movement started in 1955 as an organisation of over 100 countries which considered themselves not formally aligned with or against any major power bloc. The purpose was to ensure ‘the national independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and security of non-aligned countries in their struggle against imperialism, colonialism, apartheid, racism, etc. It focused on national struggles for independence, eradication of poverty and economic development. It supported the liberation movements and took an active anti-apartheid stand.
The archives are held by the individual member-states.
