 《Charter of the United Nations》 | |
The Charter of the United Nations (also known as the UN Charter) of 1945 is the foundational 条约 of the 联合国, an intergovernmental organization.[1] It was signed at the San Francisco War Memorial and Performing Arts Center in San Francisco, United States, on 26 June 1945, by 50 of the 51 original member countries (波兰, the other original member, which was not represented at the conference, signed it two months later). It entered into force on 24 October 1945, after being ratified by the original 联合国安全理事会常任理事国 of the 联合国安全理事会—the 中華民國 (大陸時期) (after 1949, located in 中華民國 and was later replaced by the 中华人民共和国), 法国 法蘭西共和國臨時政府 (later replaced by the 法兰西第四共和国 and then the 法蘭西第五共和國), the 苏联 (later replaced by the 俄罗斯), the 英国, and the 美国—and a majority of the other signatories. The UN-Charter articulated a commitment to uphold 人权 of 公民 and outlined a broad set of principles relating to achieving ‘higher standards of living’, addressing ‘economic, social, health, and related problems,’ and ‘universal respect for, and observance of, human rights an fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to 人種, 性别, 語言, or 宗教.’[2]
As a charter, it is a constituent treaty, and all members are bound by its articles. Furthermore, Article 103 of the Charter states that obligations to the United Nations prevail over all other treaty obligations.[1][3] 聯合國會員國列表 in the world have now ratified the Charter.
Summary
The Charter consists of a preamble and a series of articles grouped into chapters.[1]
The preamble consists of two principal parts. The first part contains a general call for the maintenance of peace and international security and respect for human rights.

Charter Provisions
Preamble
The Preamble to the treaty reads as follows:
We the peoples of the United Nations determined
- to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and
- to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and
- to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and
- to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,
And for these ends
- to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours, and
- to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and
- to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and
- to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples,
Have resolved to combine our efforts to accomplish these aims
Accordingly, our respective Governments, through representatives assembled in the city of San Francisco, who have exhibited their full powers found to be in good and due form, have agreed to the present Charter of the United Nations and do hereby establish an international organization to be known as the United Nations.
