The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) is an international organization bringing together 120 countries on the principles of non-participation in military blocs.
The NAM was officially founded by 25 states at the Belgrade Conference in September 1961.
The movement's establishment was preceded by the Bandung Conference (Indonesia) in 1955 and tripartite consultations among the presidents of Yugoslavia, Egypt and India in 1956.
