Annotation:
The Charter of the United Nations (also known as the UN Charter) was signed at San Francisco, June 26, 1945 and entered into force October 24, 1945. The Charter is the cornerstone of the United Nations Organization, affirming faith in fundamental human rights, justice and peace. In the human rights context, the Charter also provides the basis for Charter-based (such as the Commission on Human Rights) and Treaty-based (such as the Human Rights Committe) human rights bodies.
