The first chapter of the Charter lists the following purpose: To achieve international cooperation In solving international problems of an economic. social. cultural. or humanitarian character. and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race. sex. language. or religion. World War II left a sad residue of international problems of an "economic. social. cultural. or humanitarian character." Hordes of refugees had to be cared for. Thousands of children were left homeless and destitute. Hunger and destruction and disease followed in the wake cf one of mankinds most devastating cataclysms. Many of the pressing postwar needs have already been met through the United Nations. Refugees have been resettled although thousands are yet nationless. The International Childrens Emergency Fund. established under the auspices of the United Nations. has brought life and health to helpless children who otherwise would have grown. if at all. into maimed and stunted adults. Cooperative projects have been successfully carried out to reestablish lines of communication and transportation dis"rupted by the war and to reactivate productive industry.
