The Charter of the United Nations (also known as the UN Charter) is the foundational treaty of the United Nations, an intergovernmental organization. It establishes the purposes, governing structure, and overall framework of the UN system, including its six principal organs: the Secretariat, the General Assembly, the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, the International Court of Justice, and the Trusteeship Council.
Canada and 49 other countries signed the Charter of the United Nations on 26 June 1945. This historic moment created the United Nations (UN), an international organization that promotes cooperation, dialogue, and peace around the world – a mission it held in 1945 and still does today.
