Even before the end of the war, the Allies had adopted as their rallying cry freedom from want, freedom from fear, freedom of speech and freedom of conscience. Men and women who had fought and lived through this conflagration came out with the conviction that the horrors of the Holocaust must never be repeated. For this reason, the Charter of the United Nations adopted at the Peace conference of San Francisco in 1945 was founded upon the principle of equality of all human beings in rights and dignity without discrimination as to race, sex, language or religion.
