Revival of NAM:A blow to Unipolar World Concept :
The 16th NAM summit took place during from 26 to 31 August 2012 in Tehran, Iran and turn out to be huge success ,even UN Secretary General Mr Ban Ki Moon [defying US/Israel]attended inaugural session.The representatives from 150 countries attended the summit , the attendance at the highest level includes 27 presidents,2 kings and emirs,7 prime ministers,9 vice presidents,2 parliament spokesmen and 5 special envoys.At the summit, Iran took over from Egypt as Chair of the Non-Aligned Movement for the period 2012 to 2015.The Chinese representative also spoke at summit [observer].
This is real challenge to concept of unipolar world and USA domination of the world.It is clear reflection that world is not blind follower of US policies&its hegemony.
History of NAM :
During cold war the erstwhile USSR and USA used to dominate the world politics ,the world was divided into two powerful blocks, one lead by USA and another by USSR.Both powers started building 'Weapons of Mass Destruction'[WMD] to face each other in case of "World War "
Some of world leaders like Mr Tito,Mr Nasser and Mr Nehru during late 50's thought that they should form third block to work for world peace and solidarity.
The concept Non -Alignment Movement which came into existence in the former Yugoslavia in 1961, the NAM represents nearly two-thirds of the UN members and about 55 percent of the world population.NAM currently consists of 120 members, 17 observer countries and 10 observer organizations. China became a NAM observer in September 1992.
It was brainchild of Yugoslavia's president, Mr. Josip Broz Tito; Indonesia's first president,Mr Sukarno; Egypt's second president, Mr.Gamal Abdel Nasser; Ghana's first president Kwame Nkrumah; and India's first prime minister, Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru . NAM means it is neither supporter of US or USSR,but chooses to remain neutral in world with an aim to work for world peace and solidarity.

After dismantling of USSR during 90's and world became unipolar as USA started dominating the world politics ,even it started controlling UN ,because it is largest donor of funds to it. NAM concept got blow after cold war over,it got revived due to one-sided world policing role of USA&its feudalistic policies.
