About this statute

This article states the United Nations’ purposes, including keeping peace, resolving disputes peacefully, developing friendly relations among nations, promoting international cooperation, and encouraging respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms without discrimination. Article 2 sets principles for the Organization and its Members, including acting in good faith, settling disputes peacefully, and avoiding force. This article says which states count as the original Members of the United Nations. UN membership is open to peace-loving states that accept the Charter obligations and are able and willing to carry them out; admission is decided by the General Assembly on the Security Council’s recommendation. A UN member subject to Security Council preventive or enforcement action may have its membership rights and privileges suspended by the General Assembly, on Security Council recommendation.
