Are you saying that the UN Charter IS NOT a contract, an agreement, a pact between International Organizations and Countries and its States under International Law, pertaining to trade and peace or some other agreement.

The U.N. Charter is a treaty. It is part of a larger body of international law. The United States, as a United Nations member, is bound by its terms.
Article 2 (4) of the Charter says nations: “Shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.”
