The USA and the UK renewed a special relationship earlier this month in the form of the Atlantic Charter. The original document, over 80 years old, was a historic declaration of cooperation between the two countries signed in the post-World War II period. Over the decades, things were not always smooth between America and Britain, making the charter almost redundant. The new Atlantic Charter reaffirms the common values shared between the two nations and touches upon a range of issues that matter to the world of today including climate change, the pandemic and a rebuke towards China and Russia.
In this story, Mira Patel makes a comparative analysis of the two Atlantic Charters, looking at them in context of the time in which they were written. The story also looks at the affirmations and criticisms that both the 1941 Atlantic Charter and the renewed one has received from political experts and politicians from across the world.
