About the resolution
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, more commonly called NATO, is a 29-nation alliance including the U.S., Canada, and most countries of Europe.
Founded in 1949 not long after World War II, it was intended as a bulwark against wars or military conflicts between such powers in the future, and to present a unified front in the face of military aggression or annexation by other nations such as the USSR. It has essentially worked as advertised. Russia is not a member, just as the USSR was not.
