Dumbarton Oaks Conference
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dumbarton Oaks Conference (or Washington Conversations on International Peace and Security Organization) was an international conference at which the United Nations was formulated and negotiated.
It was held beginning on from 21 August to 7 October 1944 in Dumbarton Oaks, a mansion in Washington, DC, United States, and was attended by representatives of the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the Republic of China. It was chaired by U.S. Undersecretary of State Edward Reilly Stettinius.[1]
The conference's discussions on the make-up of the UN included which states would be invited to be members, the formation of the United Nations Security Council, and the right of veto that would be given to the Security Council's permanent members.
The conference was followed up by the Yalta Conference (February 1945) and, later, by the United Nations Conference on International Organization (the "San Francisco Conference", April-June 1945), at which the Security Council veto powers were established and the text of the UN Charter finalized.
