The NAM Framework is operating upon 120 NAM member states + 17 NAM observer states + 10 NAM observer international organisations as of 2026 — comprehensive Global-South coverage framework. The Framework is silent on 'parental alienation' as a statutory label, though formal NAM framework operates limited intersection with parental-alienation framework via formal Global-South cross-border-children's-rights framework not directly addressing family-law-issues framework. The NAM Summit + NAM Chairmanship + NAM Coordinating Bureau + NAM Ministerial Meeting are the formal NAM bodies; national-level apex courts operate as judicial bodies.
