The United Nations (UN) Charter is the instrument by which the United Nations first came into being and exists in its present form today. It is the source of its legitimacy and its primary constitution.
The UN Charter has been amended several times since its inception on 26 June 1945 and it was never the intention of the founding Member States that such a constitution would remain unchanged. Instead, the UN Charter has always represented what the common community of nations believe is its best charter for the betterment of humanity.
As such, there is urgent need of constitutional reform within the charter itself if firstly the United Nations itself is to hope to achieve any of its aims such as the 2015 Millenium Projects. The United Nations as it currently exists is hamstrung by the limitations placed on it by the present charter. To make real effect, the United Nations needs instruments capable of real and lasting change in terms of the economic well being of nations and the permanent military tools to ensure peace and security.
Rather than weakening the United Nations, the charter needs to be amended to strengthen the United Nations so that every person is represented by a state that is represented in the Great Assembly of all nations.
