Following are the important achievements of Non-Aligned Movement (NAM):

1. Non-Aligned Movement has helped in easing the tension between the two power blocs. It also contributed a lot to bringing an end to the Cold War.
2. NAM acted against the arms race of the superpowers during the time of the Cold War.
3. It has supported the cause of international peace, justice and freedom. It has opposed all forms of injustice, including the Suez Crisis of 1956, the aggressive policies of Israel and the unilateral American attack on Iraq.
4. It has advocated the creation of a New International Economic Order (NIEO) based on greater economic cooperation and justice. In fact, the first UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) held in 1964 was largely a result of the efforts of the Non-Aligned countries.
5. NAM has made the developed countries realise that the continued deprivation of the third world would negatively affect the global economy and their own prosperity.
