From Editor’s Desk
Non-Aligned Movement is most effective multilateral body
which looks after the interests of the developing world in global
political, economic, as well as environmental affairs. NAM
has strived for multilateralism in the international order and
has called for further strengthen coordination and mutual
cooperation among Member states in global institutions such
as the United Nations.
NAM aims at promoting social and economic development
among the Member States. The movement emphasizes that it
is necessary for developing countries to work hand in hand
to reach a target reform of global financial and economic
governance and structural design in order to establish an evenhanded,
clear and autonomous international system.
The Movement has also supported global initiatives for
the protection of the environment. Non-Aligned Movement
recognizes the importance of Strengthening the conservation
and sustainable use of biological diversity and in this regards has
actively supported the implementation of the Nagoya Protocol.
Another major environmental issue facing the developing world
is the Trans boundary movement of hazardous wastes. NAM has
called for States to act in accordance with the Basel Convention
on the Control of Trans- Boundary Movements of Hazardous
Wastes and their Disposal.
Over the years, Non-Aligned Movement has produced great
leaders who have effectively articulated the principles of the
Movement not only in their respective country but beyond
it also. This issue highlights the legacy of Tanzanian leader
Mwalimu Nyerere in the Non-Aligned Movement.
