  • Article 2 of the OPEC Statute (1961)Mandated price stabilization and the protection of member states' sovereign oil revenues

Answer

The Bandung Asian-African Conference (1955) matches the adoption of the Ten Principles of Bandung; the Belgrade Summit (1961) matches the formal establishment of the Non-Aligned Movement; the OPEC Solemn Declaration of Algiers (1975) matches the support for a New International Economic Order (NIEO); and Article 2 of the OPEC Statute (1961) matches the statutory mandate for petroleum price stabilization.
Each event and document accurately corresponds to its historic accomplishment: Bandung (1955) formulated the Ten Principles; Belgrade (1961) officially launched NAM; the Algiers Declaration (1975) supported the NIEO; and OPEC Statute Article 2 mandated price stabilization.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Examine the foundational meetings that led to the formation of the Non-Aligned Movement.
Distinguish between the preliminary ideological gathering at Bandung in 1955 and the formal organizational inauguration at Belgrade in 1961.
Bandung laid out the ten core principles of peaceful coexistence, whereas Belgrade formally constituted the diplomatic movement.
2
Analyze OPEC's institutional charter provisions.
Identify Article 2 of the OPEC Statute as the legal clause establishing price stabilization and income defense for oil-exporting developing nations.
Article 2 articulates OPEC's foundational economic mission enacted following the 1960 Baghdad conference.
3
Evaluate the evolution of OPEC policy during the 1970s North-South economic dialogue.
Associate the 1975 Algiers Solemn Declaration with OPEC's broader support for the New International Economic Order (NIEO).
Following the 1973 oil shock, OPEC expanded its foreign policy focus from narrow price regulation to systemic global economic reform for developing states.
