Description
THE MEMBER-STATES OF THE UNITED COUNTRIES,

to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which brings untold sorrow to mankind, and

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

to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and

to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,

AND FOR THESE ENDS

to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours, and

to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and

to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and

to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples,

RESOLVE TO COMBINE OUR EFFORTS TO ACCOMPLISH THESE AIMS. AS SUCH,

The United Countries shall be an international organization founded upon the sovereignty of its individual member-states. It shall comprise three main divisions, under which will serve various lesser institutions and organizations. It shall comprise the Secretariat, which acts as a ceremonial leader and a guide for the resolution of issues; a General Assembly, which shall comprise the member-states and will participate in the drafting and debating of resolutions; the Security Council, which shall resolve international disputes and serve to prevent the spread of conflict in Terra.
