In a historic moment during the tumultuous course of World War II, 28 nations united against the Axis powers formally pledged on 2 January 1942 to abstain from making any separate peace agreements.
This commitment, embodied in the Declaration by United Nations, reinforced their collective resolve to defeat the aggressors through unwavering solidarity.
Signed in Washington, DC, the declaration not only underpinned the foundation for post-war international cooperation but also symbolised an enduring commitment to shared principles of justice and freedom.
This collaborative stance significantly shaped the trajectory of the war and the eventual formation of the United Nations in 1945.
