UNCharter.org: Searchable, browseable, accessible

Welcome

Welcome to UNCharter.org. This site is designed to provide the United Nations Charter in an accessible, searchable, cross-referenced form. Please use the links below or the search-box to the right to find the section you're looking for. When you view a chapter or article cross-references will be displayed at the bottom. When viewing an article you will have the opportunity to view that article side-by-side with articles referring to it.

Please view the about page to learn more about this site and to see features I'm hoping to implement. Inspired by this blog entry I'm soliciting comments on the next stage. Should the site grow to allow comments on the charter? Discussion boards? Please post your comments here.
