It discusses themes like the evolution of the Charter; purposes and principles; Pacific settlements of disputes; the General Assembly; the Security Council; International Economic and Social Co-Operation; the Economic and Social Council; the International Court of Justice; transitional security arrangements etc. to show how, during the first three years of the existence the organs of the United Nations have applied and interpreted the provisions of the Charter. This is an important historical reference work for scholars and researchers of international law, international relations and international politics and diplomacy.
