NATO is a political-military alliance that ensures the mutual defense of the member states. It was born after the signing of the Treaty of Washington in 1949. These ten countries on both sides of the Atlantic, they committed themselves to create an intergovernmental organization for the protection of all.
Its main members were: Belgium, Canada, Denmark, the United States, France, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, the Netherlands, Portugal and the United Kingdom. Years later the 17 remaining members of the organization would be added.
NATO has a network of allies throughout the world. Currently more than 5 States are in the status of aspirants and more than 9 enjoy the privilege of being considered global-strategic partners.
Among all its member states they reach an approximate of 50% of the global GDP and can reach an approximation of 3 million men and women willing to take action. It is estimated that during the year 2017 they spent 946 billion dollars in general.
The current Secretary General of the organization Jens Stoltenberg has held the post since October 1, 2014 and has worked hard to modernize the organization to global challenges.
Recently and to everyone's concern, he has expressed in an interview with the newspaper El Mundo Spain "We live in the most dangerous moment since the Cold War", assuring that the commitment of all the member states is necessary.
NATO, is the largest military alliance in the world and in the midst of a global scenario increasingly convulsive and interconnected increases its importance as a guarantor of "peace" and "security", hence our recommendation to closely monitor its work and its immediate consequences.
