The Non-Aligned Movement has overcome the difficult moments of the last decade of the twentieth century when, after the end of the so-called Cold War, the relevance of this organization was put to the question. Our firm and collective beliefs about the strategic need in the face of the serious challenges confronting humankind and the efforts towards its revitalization preserved the full validity of this forum for concerted action as a stalwart for the defense of the common interests of the peoples of the South. Solidarity, adherence to the principles and unity in the struggle have been key factors in the achieved results. When Cuba took up the Presidency of the Non-Aligned Countries Movement for the second time on September, 2006, there were clear signals indicating the revitalization and strengthening of this mechanism for political consensus among developing countries. During the last three years, with the support of all member States, this process has been further consolidated. We arrive to the Fifteenth Summit with a Movement that has earned itself an effective participation in the discussion of some of the most pressing global problems; its voice has deserved recognition and respect at the most important multilateral fora.

at the IAEA Board of Governors Meeting
Vienna, Austria; June 2009
At the very outset, NAM would like to reiterate its previously stated view that, while considering this issue, it is essential to take into account the way it was first brought to the attention of the Agency. As was recognized in the Director General’s Report to the Board of November 2008, the Agency was severely hampered in discharging its responsibilities under the Syria’s NPT Safeguards Agreement by the unilateral use of force by Israel and by the late provision of information by some Member States concerning the building at the Dair Alzour site.
