OOC: This, from here, might be helpful.

The 2006 meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement took place in Havana and Fidel Castro was elected President of the Movement.[1]. He was, however, unable to make an official appearance at the summit, having recently undergone gastric surgery. The job of host was assumed by Fidel's younger brother Raúl Castro, who had been the acting president of Cuba since his brother's operation. The summit ended with a declaration that condemned what many members saw as Israel's disproportionate military response to the kidnapping of two of its soldiers by the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah (see 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict), called upon the United Nations to be more representative of its smaller member nations, gave support to Iran's nuclear energy plans, and criticized many of United States' foreign policies[2]. In section 119.14, the Nonaligned movement stated that the United States list of state-sponsors of terrorism was "a form of psychological and political terrorism" directed against members of the Non-Aligned Movement. The next NAM summit has been announced to be held in Cairo, Egypt.
 
Ghana, person who mentioned NAM is here.

Ghana does have some opinions about the apparant racism though our mission statement talks about anti-racism.
 
OOC: Israel-Zionism - Israel Outraged by Non-Aligned Movement

A Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) "final document" praising Lebanon for its "heroic resistance to the Israeli aggression" has irked government officials in Jerusalem because some countries with close bilateral ties with Israel are a part of the movement and, as such, ostensibly signed off on the resolution.

According to the 143rd clause of the 280-clause final document, "The Heads of State or Government expressed solidarity with and support for the Government and people of Lebanon, hailed their heroic resistance to the Israeli aggression, and emphasized the primordial importance of Lebanon's national unity and stability."

Among the NAM members are India, Thailand, Ethiopia, Kenya, the Philippines, Honduras and Guatemala, all countries with which Israel has strong relations.

"This is clearly unacceptable, and totally out of line with the good bilateral relations we have with some of the NAM countries," one government source said.

"Israel will pursue this topic with the members of this movement." Israel has relations with about 90 of the 118 NAM members.

The official said that while it was doubtful the foreign ministers of many of the countries even read the massive document and were aware of its content, these types of blatantly one-sided anti-Israel documents created a poisonous overall atmosphere.

"A document like this is used by all those who want to censure Israel, saying 'look what a 118-country movement has to say,'" the official said.

He added that it gave a "kosher certificate" to the most blatantly anti-Israel rhetoric.

Officials at the Indian, Thai, Ethiopian and Filipino embassies in Israel did not respond to questions about the resolution and whether it reflected their governments' policies.

As expected, other clauses in the document that dealt with Israel and the Palestinians were extremely critical.

For instance, clause 135 "strongly condemned Israel's continuation and escalation of its military aggression against the Palestinian civilian population in the Gaza Strip" and said that "such unlawful actions by the occupying Power constitute grave breaches of international law, i.e. reported war crimes, for which the perpetrators must be held accountable and brought to justice."

The only sliver of a silver lining to the whole document was the fact that a call to the member states to bar entry to "Israeli settlers" did not make it into the final resolution, but was included in a side document, a Declaration on Palestine, that does not carry the same weight within the movement as the summit's final document.

This is just to prove the point about some racism in NAM. I will post official Ghanaian reasons (and not MY israeli ones) soon.

Also, this is effectively a bump.
 
India would like to see Isreal's official stance on this, just for clarity. This seems to be the most urgent of issue's currently on the table and hence moves that the resolution be brought back up for a second vote.
 
well that would be partially due to the fact that our movement is based on neutrality, we cant really take a firm stance on anything
 
Cyprus is here.

ooc: Also cyprus is not listed as a member country yet is marked in Dark blue on the map.
