The master's thesis deals with the activities of the Non-Aligned Movement between 1955 and 1968. The purpose of the work was to investigate the first period which marks the time and activity of individual non-aligned countries and the second period which is divided into the official beginning of the movement and its development during the 1960s. During the Cold War, the leaders of the then countries of Yugoslavia, India, Egypt, Ghana, and Indonesia had a great influence in the movement. The purpose of the work is to illuminate the resonance of the movement during the 1960s. The aim of the assignment is to investigate how the movement gained recognition in the world in the first place and how it lost its momentum by the end of the 1960s. Researching the period, the leading countries of the movement, and the world of that time, the ultimate goal of the master's thesis is to evaluate the short-term achievements and consequences of the movement. Furthermore, the thesis highlights that while it was relatively easy to determine the short-term successes of the non-aligned countries mainly through their intermediary involvement in the United Nations, it was difficult to determine this at the level of the movement as a whole during the 1960s. After examining the scientific literature, Slovenian newspapers in the USA of the time, conference reports, and declarations, it was established that the movement of the non-aligned had successfully gained recognition in the Western world at least from 1964 and further on.
