WE THE PEOPLES OF THE MASONIC UNITED NATIONS DETERMINED

We  will save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and

We do reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and

We do establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and

We will promote social progress and better standards of life in greater freedom.

TO THESE ENDS,

We will  practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbors, and unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples,

HAVE RESOLVED TO COMBINE OUR EFFORTS TO ACCOMPLISH THESE AIMS

Accordingly, our respective Governments, through representatives assembled in the city of New York, who have exhibited their full powers found to be in good and due form, have agreed to the present Charter of the Masonic United Nations and do hereby establish an international organization to be known as the Masonic United Nations.
