United Nations Documents, 1941-1945

London; New York: Royal Institute of International Affairs, 1946. — 276 p.Chatham House has for some time past received inquiries for the documents of the United Nations in an easily accessible form. That all the documents here printed have never previously been reproduced between the same covers is the justification for this edition, The documents printed here include those concerning the origin of the United Nations, its Charter and other international organizations formed in association with it down to the end of 1945. In view of the length of some of the documents and to economize space, preambles, appendices, lists of delegates or signatories, and other sections have in some cases been omitted.The criterion of selection has been the forward-looking decisions of the United Nations. For example, with the exception of the original United Nations Declaration, no part of a communique or declaration by the United Nations (or the Big Three on their behalf) dealing solely with the actual prosecution of the war has been included. But since the peace settlement must to some extent condition relations between the United Nations in the future, sections dealing with policy towards Italy, Austria, Germany, and Japan have been included. It is hoped that in due course these and succeeding United Nations documents will appear in the annual volumes of Documents on International Affairs, published by the Institute.For the sake of consistency, certain minor typographical alterations have been made which in no way affect the sense.Declaration of Solidarity of the United Nations, St James’s Palace, June 12, 1941
