World War II, a wave of decolonization gave rise to the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM). It was established in Belgrade in 1961, at the height of the Soviet-American conflict. With the fall of the USSR, its political significance has lessened in the post-cold war world, but NAM remains significant in the current global context. NAM developed a distinct political identity over time. An effort has been made in this study to assess the applicability of NAM in the modern era in relation to the goals and intentions that led to its creation. Some people believe that the bipolar world has died and that NAM is no longer relevant as its foundation. The other portion, however, believes that NAM continues to uphold its core beliefs, ideals, and goals of promoting disarmament and creating a world that is peaceful and wealthy. Regional conflicts and crises have persisted despite the conclusion of the Cold War. In the current international environment, NAM can now significantly contribute to fostering global peace and bringing about nuclear arms control and disarmament by nuclear-armed nations. The truth is that NAM is still relevant today. As long as there remains a system of sovereign states, the policy will remain in place. In the same way that the United Nations Organization and its charter are unaffected by the transgressions of the organization and its members, its legitimacy cannot be questioned.
