For the first time since 2011, the original UN Charter is back on display at United Nations Headquarters in New York, This historic document, signed in 1945, is the foundation of the United Nations and a symbol of international cooperation.
Now showcased as part of a special exhibit marking the 80th anniversary of the San Francisco Conference, this rare display honors the moment when 50 nations came together to shape a new era of peace after World War II.
Held from April to June 1945, the San Francisco Conference brought together delegates from around the world to draft and adopt the UN Charter, setting the principles of diplomacy, human rights, and global collaboration that still guide the UN today.
