Explanation:

The Non Alignment Movement arose as result of the two Blocs formed during the cold war-Soviet Bloc and the US led Capitalist Bloc.  The members of the Non Alignment Movement did not formally align with any of the two major powers. This ensured there was no military relationship with either of the two blocs. The movement helped unite all the developing countries into getting better treatment with the developed countries with respect to trade, development aid etc.
