<em>To maintain international peace and security,</em><em> and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, </em><em>and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace;
</em>
<em>To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples</em><em>, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace;
</em>
<em>To achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character, and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all</em><em> without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion; and
</em>
<em>To be a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations in the attainment of these common ends.</em><em> </em>
