Abstract
Non-alignment policy is a set of foreign policy principles followed by members of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in their struggle for peace, security, justice, and development. NAM emerged as a platform for pursuing joint policies in international relations when Third World leaders, Nehru (India), Tito (Yugoslavia), Nasser (Egypt), and Sukarno (Indonesia), met and agreed on a common perspective to dissociate themselves from with the East-West bipolar blocs of the Cold War led by the United States (USA) and the Soviet Union. In short, the policy of non-alignment revolved around the promotion of peace and non-participation in superpower confrontation.
