Answer - D - The goal of the nonalignment movement in the 1960s was to stay neutral during the cold war.

Key Takeaway: The nonalignment movement is an international organization of states that are not formally aligned with any major power bloc. The movement was founded in 1995 and as of 2006, it has 118 members.

The purpose of the organization is to ensure “the national independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and security of non-aligned countries” in their “struggle against imperialism, colonialism, neo-colonialism, racism, and all forms of foreign aggression, occupation, domination, interference, or hegemony, as well as against great power and bloc politics.” Member countries represent nearly two-thirds of United Nations members and are mostly developing or part of the third world.
