我聯合國人民同兹决心

  欲免後世再遭今代人類兩度身歷慘不堪言之戰禍，

  重申基本人權，人格尊嚴與價值，以及男女與大小各國平等權利之信念，

  創造適當環境，俾克維持正義，尊重由條約與國際法其他淵源而起之義務，久而弗懈，

  促成大自由中之社會進步及較善之民生，

並為達此目的

  力行容恕，彼此以善鄰之道，和睦相處，

  集中力量，以維持國際和平及安全，

  接受原則，確立方法，以保證非為公共利益，不得使用武力，

  運用國際機構，以促成全球人民經濟及社會之進展，

用是發憤立志，務當同心協力，以竟厥功。

  爰由我各本國政府，經齊集金山市之代表各將所奉全權证書，互相校閱，均屬妥善，議定本聯合國憲章，並設立國際組織，定名聯合國。
