The Declaration by United Nations was a World War II document agreed to on January 1, 1942 during the Arcadia Conference by 26 governments, several of them governments-in-exile.

During December 1941, Roosevelt devised the name "United Nations" (UN) for the Allies of World War II, and the Declaration by United Nations, on 1 January 1942, was the basis of the modern UN.[1] The term United Nations became synonymous during the war with the Allies and was considered to be the formal name that they were fighting under.

The original signatories were
Big four Republic of China • Union of Soviet Socialist Republics  • United Kingdom • United States  
Other powers Australia • Belgium • Canada • Costa Rica • Cuba • Czechoslovakia • Dominican Republic • El Salvador • Greece • Guatemala • Haiti • Honduras • India • Luxembourg • Netherlands • New Zealand • Nicaragua • Norway • Panama • Poland • South Africa • Yugoslavia
Later signatories were
1942 Mexico • Philippine Commonwealth • Ethiopia
1943 Iraq • Brazil • Bolivia • Iran • Colombia
1944 Liberia • France
1945 Peru • Chile • Paraguay • Venezuela • Uruguay • Turkey • Egypt • Saudi Arabia • Lebanon • Syria • Ecuador

The parties pledged to uphold the Atlantic Charter, to employ all their resources in the war against the Axis powers, and that none of the signatory nations would seek to negotiate a separate peace with Nazi Germany or Japan in the same manner that the nations of the Triple Entente had agreed not to negotiate a separate peace with any or all of the Central Powers in World War I under the Unity Pact.
