the brijuni islands in yugoslavia
the non-aligned movement as an organization was founded on the brijuni islands in yugoslavia in 1956, and was formalized by signing the declaration of brijuni on 19 july 1956. the declaration was signed by yugoslavia's president, josip broz tito, india's first prime minister jawaharlal nehru and egypt's second president, gamal abdel nasser. one of the quotations within the declaration is "peace can not be achieved with separation, but with the aspiration towards collective security in global terms and expansion of freedom, as well as terminating the domination of one country over another". according to rejaul karim laskar, an ideologue of the congress party which ruled india for most part of the cold war years, the non-aligned movement arose from the desire of jawaharlal nehru and other leaders of the newly independent countries of the third world to guard their independence "in face of complex international situation demanding allegiance to either two warring superpowers".
