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.
