Answer:
answer in essy question
Explanation:
The Non-Aligned Movement was formed during the Cold War, largely on the initiative of then-Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito, as an organization of States that did not seek to formally align themselves with either the United States or the Soviet Union, but sought to remain independent or neutral. The basic concept for the group originated in 1955 during discussions that took place at the Asia-Africa Bandung Conference held in Indonesia. Subsequently, a preparatory meeting for the First NAM Summit Conference was held in Cairo, Egypt from 5-12 June 1961.
At this meeting, participants discussed the goals of a policy of nonalignment, which were adopted as criteria for membership. These were as follows:
The country should have adopted an independent policy based on the coexistence of States with different political and social systems and on non-alignment or should be showing a trend in favor of such a policy;
The country concerned should be consistently supporting the Movements for national independence;
The country should not be a member of a multilateral military alliance concluded in the context of Great Power conflicts;
If a country has a bilateral military agreement with a Great Power, or is a member of a regional defense pact, the agreement or pact should not be one deliberately concluded in the context of Great Power conflicts;
If it has conceded military bases to a Foreign Power the concession should not have been made in the context of Great Power conflicts.
The First NAM Summit Conference took place in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, in September 1961.
Objectives
NAM has sought to "create an independent path in world politics that would not result in member States becoming pawns in the struggles between the major powers." It identifies the right of independent judgment, the struggle against imperialism and neo-colonialism, and the use of moderation in relations with all big powers as the three basic elements that have influenced its approach. At present, an addition goal is facilitating a restructuring of the international economic order
