What connects the Atlantic Charter of 1941 and the United Nations Charter of 1945?
The Atlantic Charter was incorporated by reference in the Declaration of the United Nations. (January 1, 1942) This charter set forth provisions concerning the US’s material support of Britain against Nazi Germany. The charter would later provide for the creation of the United Nations. “They seek a peace which will not only cast down forever the Nazi tyranny, but by effective international organization will afford to all states and people the means of dwelling in security.” This statement would have powerful effects towards the linkage of the Atlantic Charter to the United Nations.
