The '''Charter of the United Nations''' (also known as the '''UN Charter''') of 1945 is the foundational [[treaty]] of the [[United Nations]], an [[intergovernmental organization]].<ref name=intro>{{cite web|url=http://www.un.org/aboutun/charter/ |title=Introductory Note |publisher=Un.org |date= |accessdate=2013-02-09 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20050509082013/http://www.un.org/aboutun/charter/ |archivedate=9 May 2005 }}</ref> 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 ([[Poland]], the other [[Polish People's Republic|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 [[Permanent members of the United Nations Security Council|five permanent members]] of the [[Security Council]]—the [[Republic of China (1912–49)|Republic of China]] (after 1949, located in [[Taiwan]] and was later replaced by the [[People's Republic of China]]), [[France|the]] [[Provisional Government of the French Republic]] (later replaced by the [[French Fourth Republic|Fourth Republic]] and then the [[French Fifth Republic|Fifth Republic]]), the [[Soviet Union|Union of Soviet Socialist Republics]] (later replaced by the [[Russia|Russian Federation]]), the [[United Kingdom]], and the [[United States]]—and a majority of the other signatories.

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.<ref name=intro /><ref>http://www.un.org/en/documents/charter/chapter16.shtml,{{dead link|date=July 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} Chap 16, Article 103</ref> [[Member states of the United Nations#Current members|Most countries]] in the world have now ratified the Charter.

* 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

Although the Preamble is an integral part of the Charter, it does not set out any of the rights or obligations of member states; its purpose is to serve as an interpretative guide for the provisions of the Charter through the highlighting of some of the core motives of the founders of the organisation.<ref>Report of the Rapporteur of Commission I/1 UNICO VI, pp 446–7, Doc. 944 I/1/34(1).</ref>
