Atlantic Charter
The so-called "Atlantic Charter" was never an official, signed document. Neither Franklin D. Roosevelt nor Winston Churchill ever signed it. No signed copy has ever existed. At a December 19, 1944 press conference, in response to the direct question, "Did Churchill sign the Atlantic Charter?", FDR replied, "No one ever signed the Atlantic Charter."
