Struggle for Human Rights and Fairness
The Non-Aligned countries organisation has proved itself to be something more than simply an organisation rejecting imperialism and its modern day implications. Actually, the organisation is a core institution that monitors the processes of economic conquering around the world as a consequence of which the new forms of imperialism appear.
The organisation’s independant parties have conducted large research programmes that have established some severe violations of the fundamental human rights and liberties global principles. Let’s take several African states as examples (their names are not to be mentioned however, a bit of research can provide the more interested users with the exact names and geographical locations of the countries and regions of question) - the diamond business in Africa is founded on cheaply paid labour that have no reasonable financial return. In other words, native people in Africa work almost for free for Western subcontractors who employ them in the diamond refining business - the Non-Aligned organisation sent reports several times along with some other organisations until relevant actions were taken by the responsible international institutions (however, the issue still remains as a major problem in some African regions).
This example highlights quite a disturbing fact - Western World (EU and the US plus their allies and developed partners) gain power and wealth by violating the basic human rights and freedoms. Such a miscarriage of justice is exactly what the Non-Aligned countries stand against and the example given above was no more that a simple reflection of the organisation’s core principles in fighting for fairness and against imperialism. There are, however, thousands of examples to reveal what NA countries are fighting against - starting from the cheap laptops that we buy (the materials for many of which have been produced by using child labour - like the plastic boxes that come from China) and ending with the expensive Diamonds on 5th Avenue in New York.
