Chapter XVIII of the United Nations Charter

Chapter XVIII of the United Nations Charter deals with amendments. The process is essentially modeled after the amendment process for the United States Constitution in that: A two-thirds supermajority is required for adoption; Ratification by a supermajority of the respective states is required; There are two methods of proposing amendments; The more common of those methods is for the "first branch" (in the case of the UN, the General Assembly) to submit an amendment to the states; Another method, not actually used in practice, is to call a convention to propose amendments.
