San Francisco conference, the inaugural meeting of the United Nations more formally known as the United Nations Conference on International Organization. It was held in this Californian city from 25 April to 26 June 1945 and was attended by delegates from 50 Allied nations, 45 of which had signed the
United Nations Declaration of January 1942. However, the seat reserved for Poland remained vacant as the USA disagreed with the USSR's claim that the Moscow-backed Polish government (see
Lublin Committee) was independent. A United Nations Security Charter based on the draft proposals of the
Dumbarton Oaks conference was drawn up and signed after three main areas of disagreement between the USA and USSR were settled. These were the future of dependent populations (see
refugees); regional collective security; and the use of the veto in the Security Council which comprised five permanent members (China, France, UK, USA, and USSR) and six temporary ones. The conference also created a Trusteeship Council for administering the colonies and mandates of the Axis powers, and other non-self-governing territories.
