San Francisco is the place where the UN Charter was signed by 50 of the 51 “original member countries.” The Charter was signed inside San Francisco’s War Memorial and Performing Arts Center after the United Nations Conference on International Organization
The Charter was put into force in October 1945.

Text from the Preamble;

The Preamble to the treaty reads as follows:

We the peoples of the United Nations determined
• to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and
• to 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
• to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can
be maintained, and
• to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,

And for these ends
• to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours, and
• to 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
• to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples,
