Chapter 8. Regional Aggangements
Article 52
1. Nothing in the present Charter precludes the existence of regional
arrangements or agencies for dealing with such matters relating to the
maintenance of international peace and security as are appropriate for
regional action, provided that such arrangements or agencies and their
activities are consistent with the Purposes and Principles of the United
Nations.
2. The Members of the United Nations entering into such arrangements or
constituting such agencies shall make every effort to achieve pacific
settlement of local disputes through such regional arrangements or by such
regional agencies before referring them to the Security Council.
3. The Security Council shall encourage the development of pacific
settlement of local disputes through such regional arrangements or by such
regional agencies either on the initiative of the states concerned or by
reference from the Security Council.
4. This Article in no way impairs the application of Articles 34 and 35.
Article 53
1. The Security Council shall, where appropriate, utilize such regional
arrangements or agencies for enforcement action under its authority. But no
enforcement action shall be taken under regional arrangements without the
authorization of the Security Council, with the exception of measures
against any enemy state, as defined in paragraph 2 of this Article, provided
for pursuant to Article 107 or in regional arrangements directed against
renewal of aggressive policy on the part of any such state, until such time as
the Organization may, on request of the Governments concerned, be charged with
the responsibility for preventing further aggression by such a state.
2. The term enemy state as used in paragraph 1 of this Article applies
to any state which during the Second World War has been an enemy of any
signatory of the present Charter.
Article 54
The Security Council shall at all times be kept fully informed of
activities undertaken or in contemplation under regional arrangements or by
regional agencies for the maintenance of international peace and security.
