The documentary collection "The First Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement in Belgrade" was entered into UNESCO's International Register "Memory of the World" as a joint proposal of Serbia, Indonesia, India, Egypt and Algeria.
The Ministry of Culture of Serbia announced that the nomination file, for which the Archives of Yugoslavia contributed, documents the First Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement, which marked the active role of Third World countries in reducing tensions, calling for an end to colonialism, imperialism and racism, as well as the promotion of peaceful coexistence and world peace.
In its 60 years of existence, the Movement gathered 120 countries, and the collection consists of 76 text archives, 242 photographs, one audio archive and 15 films.
The "Memory of the World" program was launched by UNESCO in 1997, and this world register of cultural documentary heritage is the counterpart of the world register of immovable cultural monuments.
494 collections are registered in the International Register "Memory of the World".
