What：

On Oct. 24, 1945, the United Nations charter took effect after being ratified by the five permanent members of the Security Council (the United States, Great Britain, France, the Soviet Union and the Republic of China) and a majority of the other 46 members.

Why

significant

The United Nations was formed in the final days of World War II by 51 countries committed to the Allied forces. The organization succeeded the League of Nations, a similar intergovernmental organization formed after World War I.

The charter was drafted at a conference in San Francisco in April and signed on June 26, 1945. This document expressed the purposes and principles of the organization, chief among them to “maintain international peace and security” and “achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character.” It also established its organization and procedures; every member state would have a seat in the General Assembly, which would elect members to the Security Council and other councils.
