This Day in History: The United Nations Charter Is Signed, June 26, 1945
- On June 26, 1945, delegates from fifty nations signed the Charter of the United Nations in San Francisco — an attempt, born from the ruins of the deadliest war in history, to build a system that might prevent the next one.
- Eighty-one years on, the institution remains both landmark and lightning rod.
