non-aligned movement - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about non-aligned movement During the Cold War, members of the non-aligned movement were often the targets of US imperialism and Soviet imperialism, as both the USA and Soviet Union tried to attract non-aligned countries into their respective camps. The non-aligned movement was not a strongly unified group like the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) or the Warsaw Pact, and its members were weaker economically and militarily than the superpower blocs. Membership of the non-aligned movement grew from 25 states in 1961 to 113 members and 17 observer states in 2000. encyclopedia.farlex.com /non-aligned%20movement   (573 words)

Pakistan & Non-Aligned Movement The Non-Aligned Movement presently comprises 116 members as compared to the 25 that attended the first Summit held in erstwhile Yugoslavia in 1961. The Movement has maintained its long-standing position on the need for conscious steps to regulate the market measures as a means of ensuring that growth in the world economy and trade is both dynamic as well as equitable. The Movement traces its origin to the Bandung Conference of 1955, which was co-sponsored by Pakistan, along with India, Sri Lanka, Burma and Indonesia. www.pakboi.gov.pk /I_Agreements/pakistan___non-aligned_movemen.html   (605 words)

Non-Aligned Movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Called Panchsheel, these principles would later serve as the basis of the Non-Aligned Movement. The movement lost credibility in the 1970s when it was seen by critics to have become dominated by states friendly to the Soviet Union. The movement fractured from its own internal contradictions when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Non-Aligned_Movement   (952 words)

The rationale behind non-alignment The relevance of non-alignment and the Non-Aligned Movement is being vigorously questioned by a host of superficial, shallow, pseudo-intellectuals who have not bothered to or are incapable of comprehending the meaning of non-alignment and the rationale behind it. The Non-Aligned Movement is not a mere or casual collection of individual States. The NAM leaders should "close ranks" and articulate unitedly their common concerns and not let a handful of industrialised countries try to run the world. www.flonnet.com /fl1824/18240780.htm   (797 words)

The Group for Environmental Monitoring : The Non Aligned Movement The Non Aligned Movement (NAM) and Anti-Personnel Landmines The XII Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement was held in South Africa from the 29 August to the 3 September 1998. This position is somewhat surprising and ironic in that 65% of NAM member states had at the time of the Summit, in fact either signed or ratified the Convention. www.gem.org.za /html/minesnam.htm   (757 words)

The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and the Global Campaign against Anti-personnel Landmines The draft NAM Summit resolution on landmines as documented in the Communiqué of the Ministerial Meeting of the Co-ordinating bureau of the Non Aligned Movement, Cartagena de Indias, Colombia 19-20 May 1998, is of particular concern to the ICBL. The XII Non-Aligned Movement Summit will be held in Durban, South Africa from the 29th August to the 3rd September, 1998. While no charter, no headquarters, and no permanent secretariat were envisaged at that time, continuity was provided by the compilation of declarations and resolutions from the various non-aligned meetings, held approximately every three years. www.icbl.org /resources/namreportmain.html   (16623 words)

Report of the Working Group on the Security Council, 1997 The Ministers for Foreign Affairs of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries, meeting at New Delhi on 7 and 8 April 1997, addressed the question of reform of the United Nations, with particular attention to expansion of the Security Council. The Ministers expressed their satisfaction with the active participation in and contribution to the work of the open-ended working groups on United Nations reform by the non-aligned countries and encouraged them to continue to defend the Movement's positions. The Ministers reaffirmed the Movement's proposal that the veto should be curtailed, with a view to its elimination, and that the Charter of the United Nations should be amended so that, as a first step, the veto power should only apply to actions taken under chapter VII of the Charter. www.globalpolicy.org /security/reform/wk97-11.htm   (1029 words)

BBC NEWS In Depth Profile: Non-Aligned Movement Malaysia assumed the chair of the NAM at the Kuala Lumpur summit in February 2003. The NAM traces its origins to a meeting in 1955 of 29 Asian and African countries at which heads of state discussed common concerns, including colonialism and the influence of the West. Because much of the NAM's work is undertaken at the United Nations in New York, the chair country's ambassador to the UN is expected to devote time and effort to NAM matters. news.bbc.co.uk /2/hi/2798187.stm   (547 words)

The "Non - Aligned Movement" and mass murder in the Third World The bad boys of the Non-Aligned Movement were in town for their R75-million debating society party. NAM founder India and arch-rival Pakistan were there, having recently flexed their muscles in a display of idiotic, genocidal behaviour by conducting tit-for-tat atomic bomb tests that threatened to plunge Asia into nuclear war. The NAM summit saw South Africa trying to play a leading role in sub-Saharan Africa as a regional power-broker, a sort of overseer cracking the whip on countries seen as not toeing the neo-liberal line, a strategy which should endear it to the United States, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. www.struggle.ws /africa/wsfws/98/nam.html   (608 words)

Developing nations transform Non-Aligned Movement The movement instructed Samper, who assumed chairmanship of the group, to inform the Group of Seven industrialized nations -- the United States, Germany, Canada, Japan, Great Britain, France and Italy -- about the Non-Aligned Movement's new economic role. The focus was largely economic, however, with the movement condemning as "morally reprehensible" efforts by rich countries to impose tariffs on developing nations while demanding access to their economies. The movement accepted its 114th member, the former Soviet republic of Turkmenistan, and promised to consider the membership requests of Bosnia and Costa Rica. www.chron.com /content/chronicle/world/95/10/21/nonalign.html   (584 words)

niraj: RESURRECT THE NON-ALIGNED MOVEMENT? NAM has been a constant eyesore from the very beginning for those who couldn't tolerate its ever-growing popularity in mastering the majority of the countries under its umbrella to serve as a sort of 'buffer bloc' between the two world superpowers-- America and the Soviet Union, in the post-war cold war period. The NAM has been "dead" for a number of years and, of course, true to form, he blames the United States, specifically the CIA. Since then NAM was lying there as a spent-up force, of course holding its ceremonial summits and issuing hollow declarations. www.nirajweb.net /mt/niraj/archives/001496.html   (421 words)

The Non-Aligned Movement Searches for Direction - Sanjiv Prakash At the Harare summit it was the total failure of the non-aligned nations' often fragile unity that led many experts and observers to comment that the movement had ceased to be even a moral force that could exert pressure upon the two superpowers. After deliberating for four days (September 2-6), all parties at the conference clearly understood that the movement for non-alignment with the world's two major military blocs was not only toothless in its ability to enforce any of its decisions but also more divided than at any other period in its 25-year history. The concept of non-alignment was developed nearly 40 years ago by a small number of nations that wished to remain "not aligned" with the two great power blocs that were emerging at that time--the United States and the Soviet Union. www.worldandi.com /specialreport/1986/december/Sa10358.htm   (314 words)

Discover Turkey: Non-Aligned Movement The reference to Cyprus in the final communique of the 12th Summit of Heads of Governments and States, approved at the closing session Thursday, reiterates the Movement's firm positions on the Cyprus problem and calls for resolute Security Council action. NAM expressed "deep concern and disappointment over the fact that no progress has been achieved in the search for a just and viable solution due to Turkish intransigence and the attempt of the Turkish side to introduce preconditions to the two rounds of direct negotiations", held last summer. The NAM leaders "condemn the declared attempts of the Turkish side for a change of the basis of the intercommunal dialogue under the mandate of the UN Secretary-General" and "consider such demands contrary to the relevant UN resolutions, the NAM Declarations and the principles of international law and call for their withdrawal." free.hostdepartment.com /h/humanrightsturkey/NAM.htm   (397 words)

Ambassador Anwarul Karim Chowdhury of Bangladesh, who piloted the NAM resolution, told delegates that at a recent open debate of the Security Council, the single most important point made by delegations was the need for an international observer force to protect Palestinians. www.finalcall.com /international/palestine_nam04-10-2001.htm   (694 words)
