Answer 1

Two leaders of the Non-alignment Movement:

Jawaharlal Nehru and Marshal Tito.

The three main principles of the first Non-alignment Movement were:

1. Cooperation: Majority of the members of NAM were third world countries and therefore desired to cooperate in economic development and nation building.

2. Anti-colonialism: NAM members supported anti-colonial and anti-imperialist measures in Africa, Asia and Latin America such as against Apartheid in South Africa.

3. Non-alignment: NAM intended to provide an alternative to the two blocs of USA and USSR and ensure that countries develop independent foreign and economic policies.
