Nusa Dua, Bali (ANTARA News) - Indonesian permanent representative to the UN, ambassador Hasan Kleib said the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) will at its 16th Ministerial Meeting here on May 23-27 produce five documents.

He said the meeting which is held to follow up and discuss the movement`s journey after the last summit in Sharm El Sheik in Egypt in July 2009 would produce five important documents regarding the organization`s vision for the next 50 years.

The first document is a final comprehensive document containing 630 paragraphs while the second one is a "Bali Commemorative Declaration" to mark the NAM`s 50th anniversary containing not thematic issues but the NAM`s position with regard to challenges and opportunities in the next 50 years, he said on the sidelines of meetings.

Hasan said there would also be a new declaration consisting of three paragraphs about the NAM`s position on total nuclear arms eradication.

He said two other documents would relate to Palestine, one of them is about Palestine in general, the NAM`s general stand towards injustices happening in that country and on whether the political and refugee issues and independence issue would be brought to the UN General Assembly next September.

Hasan said the fifth document is a declaration on Palestine political prisoners in Israel.

"We will discuss it and then issue a condemnation and call for their release," he said.

The 16th NAM Ministerial Meeting is attended by ministerial-level officials, vice ministers from 118 countries and a vice president from Honduras, observers from 18 countries, invitees from 26 countries, observers from 10 international organizations and invitees from 23 international organizations.

During the meeting the NAM would also formally accept new members, namely Fiji and Azerbaijan, to bring the number of the organization members to 120 countries.
