摘要

The world was slowly emerging from the Depression when World War II arrived, spurring war-related industrial production but also devastating wide swaths of populated lands in Europe and Asia and smashing cultural heritages. The U.N. Charter’s founders confronted enormous societal problems but did not hesitate to articulate essential goals for the future. As the leading Founder of the U.N. Charter, President Franklin D. Roosevelt instilled the document with the priority of economic and social well-being alongside that of international security. His State of the Union messages to the U.S. Congress in 1944 and 1945 highlighted these societal goals, which found expression at Dumbarton Oaks and during the Charter drafting at San Francisco.
