The Limitations of NAM are as follows: Non-Aligned Movement has been following the path of peace. It has opposed military power blocs. The economically backward countries and the ones that became independent after World War II and during the Cold War period, have come together to achieve political Sovereignty and economic progress. Non-Aligned Movement neither has its own military nor economic power. Inevitably, these countries have sought economic assistance from developed countries. This shows the basic weakness of the Non-Aligned Movement.

The following few incidents highlight the limitations of the Non-Aligned Movement.

• On 2^nd August 1990, Kuwait occupied Iraq. Though these two countries are members of Non-Aligned Movement, it failed to solve this problem. 
• Arabian countries do not have complete trust and specific interest in the Non-Aligned Movement. 
• Non-Aligned Movement has failed to get able leadership in recent times, as it had in the beginning like Tito, Nehru, and others. 
• The internal disputes among the Non-Aligned’countries and the lack of unity have weakened it. 
• Non-Aligned countries, on the one hand, are preaching disarmament and on the other are purchasing armaments from powerful countries. 
• Non-Aligned countries do not have their own military power. It is impossible to achieve anything through criticism and peace talks. 
• Non-Aligned countries have failed in checking terrorism.
