Chapter IX of theUnited Nations Charter deals with international economic and social cooperation. Article 55 reflects the philosophy of the UN that efforts should be made to impact the root causes of war:
Article 56 requires members to "take joint and separate action in co-operation with the Organization for the achievement of the purposes set forth in Article 55."
