Explanation

The United Nations Charter was signed at the United Nations Conference on International Organization, commonly known as the San Francisco Conference [1][6]. The conference took place in San Francisco, California, from April 25 to June 26, 1945 [1][7]. Delegates from 50 nations initially met to draft and agree upon the Charter based on proposals from Dumbarton Oaks and the Yalta Agreement [1]. On June 26, 1945, the Charter was signed by 50 nations [1][3]. Poland, which was not represented at the conference, signed the Charter later on October 15, 1945, bringing the total number of original founding members to 51 [1][3][5]. The Charter officially entered into force on October 24, 1945, after ratification by the five permanent members of the Security Council and a majority of other signatories [4][6].
