Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) was founded on the principle of strategic autonomy for newly independent nations, symbolizing their struggle to strengthen independence from colonialism and imperialism [t1][t2]. It aimed to provide a voice for developing countries and promoted the democratization of international relations by challenging the bipolar hegemony of the Cold War era [t3][t9]. Statement 3 is incorrect because NAM explicitly rejected military alliances. A core criterion for membership was that a country should not be a member of multilateral military alliances or bilateral agreements concluded in the context of Great Power conflicts [c4][t9]. Jawaharlal Nehru emphasized that non-alignment meant an active disapproval of participation in military blocs or 'lining up for war purposes' [c1][c2]. Therefore, since statement 3 is false and the question asks for the 'not correct' statement, the answer is 3 only.
