Charter of the United Nations and Statute of the International Court of Justice

Abstract

This work contains the legal framework and establishes the United Nations and related bodies as per section 2, article 7 of UN charter. The organization’s purposes include international peace and security; development of friendly relations among nations; promotion of human rights; and general international cooperation. Economic and Social Council, ECOSOC, would coordinate efforts on Economic, Social, and Cultural issues; the Security Council would coordinate efforts related to enforcement actions. Trusteeship Council would supervise administration of trust territories. International Court of Justice was established as the principal judicial organ of UN. Amendments to the charter would be effective with a two-thirds vote of UNGA and ratification by two-thirds of UN members, including all five permanent members of the Security Council. Additional amendments could be proposed by the General Conference if one had not been held within ten years of the UN charter’s entry into force; otherwise, the GA on SC recommendation, could call such a conference. – AI-generated abstract.
