Constitution of the United Nations. It was signed at San Francisco on June 26, 1945 by the 50 original member countries (without Indonesia) As a treaty, all signatories are bound by international law to obey the provisions of the Charter. Furthermore, it explicitly says that the Charter trumps all other treaty obligations. Human Rights mentioned in Preamble, Article 1, Article 55 – the role of the UN to promote HR Bodies responsible within the UN: General assembly (art 13) and ECOSOC (Economic and Social Council): 62 and 68 Human Rights left by ECOSOC to Human Rights Commission (Estb 1946) Article 68 it required the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) to “set up commissions in economic and social fields and for the promotion of human rights.” Article 68 in fact makes the Human Rights Commission the only commission of the entire United Nations system that is mandated by the Charter. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is thus born out of the Charter references to human rights in the Preamble and in Articles 1, 55 and 56 and represents the attempt to define and explain what the Charter meant by the term “human rights.

It turned out to be extremely difficult to agree on a text, and it was decided to first issue a non-binding declaration, and later work on a human rights convention. Adopted by the UN General Assembly 10. December 1948.
