What peacekeeping organization emerged from the atlantic charter

A milestone to the creation of the United Nations, the Atlantic Charter (9-13 August 1941) should be seen as the first real step towards a world organization. Dedicated to the betterment and protection of nations and peoples, it paved the way for the United Nations we know today. The Atlantic Charter was not a treaty in the formal sense between the two powers, not even a formal expression of the peace aims for the war. It was a promise, a vision, an affirmation “of certain common principles in the national policies of their respective countries on which they based their hopes for a better future for the world”.
