I believe the answer is:

(Other definitions for nato that I've seen before include "Military bloc" , "Military alliance, formed 1949" , "Collective security alliance engaged in Bosnia" , "International organisation for collective security" , "Military/political alliance" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
