On this day in 1945

The United Nations Organisation has been formally inaugurated during a short ceremony at the US State Department in Washington.

A total of 29 countries ratified the United Nations Charter that was signed by 50 nations on 26 June in San Francisco. US Secretary of State James Byrnes signed the protocol and proclaimed the charter was "now a part of the law of nations".

He said it was a historic day for peace-loving nations of the world. But he warned peace was not based on documents but depended on the will of people to maintain it.

He added the USA would do its best to promote international co-operation.

The organisation will consist of six organs:

* a General Assembly of all members;
* a Security Council with five permanent members - China, France, Russia, the UK and the US - and six temporary members;
* an Economic and Social Council;
* a Trusteeship Council to supervise administration of colonies, former mandates of the League of Nations and territories taken from defeated nations;
* an International Court of Justice to be based at The Hague in the Netherlands;
* a Secretariat.
