Heads of States and members of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), pose for a photo at Speke resort convention center in Kampala, Uganda Friday, Jan. 19, 2024.
Under the radar as usual was the NAM Summit in Uganda that was attended by 3,000+ delegates from 120+ nations and organizations. At least RT provided a decent post-Summit recap that began thusly:
Russia, which has observer status in the NAM, praised the organization on Saturday for playing an important role in establishing a fairer, more democratic, and multipolar system of international relations.
“We are fully united by our rejection of neocolonialist ambitions, double standards, as well as forceful pressure, dictatorship and blackmail as a means of achieving foreign policy and foreign economic goals,” President Vladimir Putin said in a message to the summit. [Emphasis Original]
RT’s overall article is rather good as it provides background, current facts, and the main points stated within the Kampala Declaration, which will be reported in full below. But first, here’s what RT says NAM’s role is today:
In the 1990s, after the bipolar world of the Cold War ended its existence, the movement was trying to find its way, and the building of the new multipolar world, which Russia also stands for, became its primary objective. Since 2012, when, under Iran’s chairmanship the Tehran declaration openly condemned sanctions against Iran and the Western intervention in Syria, the role of the NAM has been increasing. The NAM today is the main dialog tool of the Global South, representing around 58% of the global population, 76% of global oil, and 53% of global gas reserves, with all the OPEC member states.
And now that the world’s on track to establish a multipolar world, the NAM essentially will now become aligned with itself as its non-aligned nature was specific to the Cold War and its bipolar nature. Plus, NAM members are aligned with the UN and its organizations; so, NAM’s shifting nature will target Neocolonialism and become involved at reviving the UN via joining China’s Global Security Initiative.
So, for those wondering what the Global South’s views are on a number of issues, the Kampala Declaration is aimed at informing people of exactly that:

The strong agreement seen above with other statements of purpose by similar global organization—BRICS+, SCO, ASEAN, EAEU, CELAC, OIC, Arab League—and initiatives announced by China, Russia and other nations so the substantial degree of solidarity shared by Humanity on a vast number of issues that need to be addressed but aren’t because the West doesn’t want to lose its ability to control Humanity as we see in its actions at the UNSC. As a result, I suggest a new name for the NAM—the Now or Newly Aligned Movement—as it includes all but most NATO and a few Asian and island nations that are yoked to the Outlaw US Empire. I see the NAM Summit supplying much needed energy to the full emergence of the Multipolar World as another Superpower in geopolitics.

An interesting post. Worthy goals all. It’s ironic that they seem to share a belief that the UN will actually be a force for good they can rely on. A dramatic opposite to a lot of things I have read and heard for years from this country deriding it’s worth and wishing it gone.
The problem with blanket support for UN initiatives is that you get no43. That is fundamentally a very bad initiative for the populations of all countries, but very good for big pharma. Not something I would expect NAM to support.
