Dumbarton Oaks Conference: defining United Nations Organisation

Dumbarton Oaks Conference: defining United
Nations Organisation 
From 22nd August 1944 until 9th October 1944 representatives from United States, United Kingdom, USSR and China met in Dumbarton Oaks (USA) during two months to draw the new world organization defined in the Declaration of Moscow. This organization will be named as The United Nations Organization (UNO) reflecting world hegemony of allies values formed by the following institutions:

- General Assembly: Parliamentary institution of UN formed by all member states meeting anually to talk about topics of world interest and to elect new member states, non permanent members of the Security Council, General Secretary, Economic and Social Council members and International Court of Justice members. 

-Security Council: Executive institution of the United Nations formed by 11 members: 5  permanent  members and 6 non permanent members taking decisions to guarantee world peace, security and  stability. 

-Economic and Security Council: Formed by 18 members for implementing economic and social 
 issues decisions approved by General Assembly. 

-International Court of Justice: Judiciary institution of United Nations formed by 10 members to 
  solve controversies between member states. 

So United Nations was aimed to act as a World State in order to guarantee world peace and stability organising the world and developing it through economic and social objectives. But distinction between Security Council non permanent and permanent members represented a violation of one of the core principles of the new world order established in the Atlantic Charter based on equity between states. After II World War the world will be ruled by five superpowers: United States, United Kingdom, France, USSR and China

The Declaration of Moscow: the formal death of the Society of Nations

On 30th October 1943 USA, UK, USSR and China
decided to build a new world organization 
On October 30th 1943 United States, United Kingdom, USSR and China meet in Moscow to decide the creation of a world organization by guaranteeing world peace and security and implementing new world order designed by United States and United Kingdom in the Atlantic Charter. So, the Declaration of Moscow solved the doubt about this world organization because it hasn't been named in the Atlantic Charter and the Declaration of the United Nations, pending the doubt about the creation of a new organization or the revival of the Society of Nations inactive from the outbreak of II World War in 1939.

The Atlantic Charter: the end of world british century

Atlantic Charter; staeting a world american 
era based on idealism, free trade and progressive capitalism 
On 14th August 1941 US president Franklin D.Rooselvelt and british prime minister Winston Churchill met in US aircrat Augusta in the middle of Atlantic Ocean in order to design new world order after II Word War in the case of allied victory. This new world order was based on five premises:

- No territorial gains for allied countries at the expense of defeated Axis powers.

- No border changes without the will of affected population expressed by referendum

- International relations based on equity and respect between countries as a basis for world peace
  and stability.

-New world economic order based on free trade and public intervention in order to promote human development and social prosperity.

Atlantic Charter represented the end of world british hegemony after 150 years, substituted by world american hegemony characterised by a new vision based on idealism and progressive capitalism. By contrast british world hegemony was based on realism and ortodox capitalism characterised by no public intervention in economy being responsible of misery, social polarisation, depauperation, ignorance, radicalisation, totalitarism and World War I and II in only 20 years. So, Atlantic Charter represented american rectification for a idealistic and progressive new world order able to promote prosperity and peace, approved by Allied Council on 24th September 1941 in London ann subscribed by United States, United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Czecoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Greece and USSR.
