In 2006, attention at the NAM summit in Cuba is inevitably focused on member states who buck the international order – those who choose to challenge what they see as US-imposed conventions of how to behave. The rhetoric falls neatly into line with the outlook of the host nation, Cuba: American hegemony is bad for economic freedom, for sovereignty and equality. But the NAM is now 118 nations – two-thirds of mankind – and sitting listening to all this are US allies like India, South Africa and Saudi Arabia. The Non-Aligned Movement grew out of a conviction among the leaders of mostly former European colonies in the 1950s and 1960s that they did not want their futures shaped by either Moscow or Washington. They were guided by a set of principles agreed at a conference in Bandung, Indonesia, of mutual respect, mutual non-aggression, mutual non-interference, equality and peaceful co-existence. Over the years, those principles have not been universally applied: NAM members Iran and Iraq, and India and Pakistan have fought bitter wars with each other. Nor have they stuck to the idea that members should not be part of any other bloc: Cuba itself was as close to the USSR as can be imagined until the late 1980s. It was then of course that the old order changed with the end of the Cold War, and the bipolar world became a unipolar world. Yet the NAM goes on, and even grows. Haiti and St Kitts and Nevis have come to the summit for the first time just this week. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/52519114.stm 11 28. Which nations attended the NAM summit?

Cuando la tolerancia reconoce la individualidad y la diversidad, se eliminan las máscaras que crean desacuerdos y diluye la tensión creada por la ignorancia. La tolerancia ofrece la oportunidad de descubrir y eliminar estereotipos y estigmas asociados con personas a las que se las ve diferentes debido a su nacionalidad, a su religión o a su patrimonio cultural. Así como el jardinero reconoce las características de cada variedad de semilla y prepara el suelo de forma adecuada para cada una, una persona tolerante respeta la singularidad de cada persona. Una persona tolerante atrae a otra diferente mediante el entendimiento y una mentalidad abierta; y aceptándola y acomodándola de manera genuina, muestra su tolerancia de una forma práctica. En consecuencia, las relaciones florecen. La semilla de la tolerancia, el amor, se planta con compasión y cuidado. Cuanto más afectuoso se vuelve uno y más comparte ese amor, mayor es la fuerza en ese amor. Cuando hay carencia de amor, hay falta de tolerancia. Por ejemplo, el caso de una madre: cuando el hijo experimenta un obstáculo, ella está preparada y es capaz de tolerar cualquier cosa. En ese momento no se preocupa por su propio bienestar, sino que, con amor, afronta todas las circunstancias. El amor hace que todo sea más fácil de tolerar. La familia es la primera escuela en la que se aprende la tolerancia, debido a que siempre hay que hacer reajustes para acomodar a los demás. El colegio es la segunda. Sin embargo, los exámenes de tolerancia se presentan todos y cada uno de los días de nuestra vida. Los que los aprueban tienen a menudo la conciencia de apreciar lo bueno de las personas y de las situaciones. Los que reciben las notas más bajas son los que normalmente tienen una actitud de desaprobación y censura. Los que aprueban con muy buena nota usan el poder de la tolerancia como un escudo de protección, de forma que su serenidad interna permanece intacta.
