What are the objectives of United Nations Charter.
Some key objectives of the United Nations (UN) Charter are:
- To maintain international peace and security and to prevent future wars
- To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples
- To promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms for all, without discrimination based on race, gender, religion, or any other status
- To promote social progress and better standards of living for all, by addressing issues such as poverty, hunger, and disease
- To facilitate international cooperation in solving economic, social, cultural, and humanitarian problems
- To serve as a center for harmonizing the actions of nations in the attainment of these common goals
These objectives are reflected in the various bodies and programs established by the UN, such as the Security Council, the General Assembly, and the specialized agencies like the World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), among others. The UN works to achieve these objectives through diplomatic efforts, peacekeeping missions, humanitarian aid, and other means of international cooperation.
