I will have to file a tax return this year as I have taken a
distribution from a traditional IRA.

I will be filing a 1040 NR as I am no longer living in the
U.S. Do I have to declare all my income in the country I am
living in for the tax return or is the only item I have to
declare the amount from the IRS distribution ?.

Thanks.

If you have a green card (permanent resident) or are a US citizen, you are
required to report your worldwide income

However, some of it may be offset by foreign tax credits etc

You don't say whether you are a US citizen or greencard
holder, just that you live in another country. The answer
depends on this information, however. If you are, you do
not file 1040NR but a regular 1040 and report ALL your
income, not just the IRA distribution.

Whether you have to pay tax in the country where you live
depends on the tax law of that country. Some countries tax
this type of income, others do not.

Before that, are you a US Citizen or Green Card Holder?

Until that is answered, we don't know if you can file a
1040NR. If the first question is yes, you can't file a
1040NR and the rules are different.

I presume that you are not a U.S. citizen, that you were a
resident alien when you opened the IRA, that you are now a
nonresident alien for US federal tax purposes (i.e., you do
not currently have a green card, you don't meet the
substantial presence test, and you have properly notified
the IRS of your abandonment of US residency), and that you
are not subject to the expatriation provisions of Sec.
877(e).

Generally, you must report all income that is effectively
connected with a US trade or business (regardless of source)
or that is US-source income that is not effectively
connected with a US trade or business.

Since I have no idea what the rest of your income items are,
the only thing I can say is that your IRA distributions are
reportable on Form 1040NR. For the rest, you should read
through the instructions to Form 1040NR, available online
at:
http://www.irs.gov/instructions/i1040nr/index.html
