Summary/Abstract: The original concept of non-alignment on the basis of which the movements has been developing is analyzed. Apart from foreign opposition to the policy of non alignment, demands for the radicalisation of the movement are emerging within the movement itself. Some states demand cooperation with socialist states as their »natural allies», while others, on the contrary, consider the Warsaw Treaty the greatest enemy of non-alignment. The third group of states advocates the policy of equidistance in regard to blocks. The author sums up the original concept of non-alignment as the concept by which are guided the states which: do not subject their political orientation to ideological goals, in advance defined are not parties to military-political alliances; retain their freedom of choice, decisions and activity in international relations; participate in an organized way in the promotion of peace, detente progress and economic development: observe the principles of the United Nations Charter: actively support the introduction of new forms of political, economic, social and cultural relations, thus contributing to the world's progress.
