Members and other Participants of NAM Movement

The Movement recognizes three categories for participation: Full Member,

Observer and Guest.

The Bandung Principles and the Membership Criteria of the Non-Aligned Movement
function as admission criteria both for new members and observers. At present, the
Movement has 120 Member States, 17 Observer Countries and 10 Observer
organizations.

Membership Criteria of The Movement of Non-Aligned Countries

1. The Country should have adopted an independent policy based on the

coexistence of States with different political and social systems and on non-
alignment, or it should have shown a tendency to favor such a policy.
2. The Country in question should support national independence movements in a
consistent manner.
3. The Country should not be a member of a multilateral military alliance concluded
in the context of great power conflicts.
4. If the Country has a bilateral military agreement with a great power or it is a
member of a regional defense pact, the agreement or pact should have not been
concluded deliberately in the context of great power conflicts.
5. If the Country has granted military bases to a foreign power, the concession
should have not been made in the context of great power conflicts.

Members have full rights and duties, while observers may participate only in the
Movement deliberation and plenary sessions and Guests only attend high- level
meetings of the Movement ( specially opening and closing sessions ) if so approved by
the coordinating Bureau.
