The 14th Non Aligned Summit will run amid wars, illegal invasions and social maladies that mainly threaten the Third World.

Havana will be the second-time NAM host of 116 countries at the Sept 11-16 Summit, amid doubts the NAM s very existence and the mission to adopt a common stand on the world s fragile situation.

But Non Aligned concepts prevail: non-membership in military blocks, rejection of foreign military bases, defense of self-determination and the struggle for general, total disarmament.

Significant NAM concerns are the US occupation of Iraq, Israel s US-supported invasion of Lebanon, the UN democratization, US efforts to destabilize Venezuela and its anti-Cuba economic blockade.
