It called for more democratic government following the war.
The Atlantic Charter was negotiated at the Atlantic Conference by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, aboard warships in a secure anchorage at Naval Station Argentia, Newfoundland, and was issued as a joint declaration on August 14, 1941.
Besides specifying peacetime goals, the charter contained Roosevelt's Four Freedoms, which he had outlined in his speech to the U.S. Congress on January 6, 1941, as the legislative (law-making) body considered passage of the Lend-Lease Act. The Lend-lease Act was a plan under which the United States would extend financial assistance to the Allied powers (Great Britain and France) fighting the Axis powers (Germany, Italy, and Japan) in World War II.
The Atlantic Charter established a vision for a post-World War II world, despite the fact the United States had yet to enter the War. The participants hoped in vain that the Soviet Union, since June invaded by her previous ally Nazi-Germany, would adhere as well.
In brief, the eight points were:
1. no territorial gains sought by the United States or the United Kingdom,
2. territorial adjustments must conform to the people involved,
3. people have right to choose own government,
4. trade barriers lowered,
5. there must be disarmament,
6. there must be freedom from want and fear,
7. there must be freedom of the seas,
8. there must be an association of nations.
The Axis Powers interpreted this diplomatic agreement as a potential alliance against them. Adolf Hitler saw it as evidence the UK and USA as colluding in an international Jewish conspiracy and agreed to the implementation of the Final Solution before the conclusion of the war in retaliation. In Japan, this agreement rallied support for the militarists in the government who pushed for a more aggressive approach to UK and USA.
On the other hand, this agreement proved to be one of the first steps to the formation of the United Nations.
There were a lot of provisions. They included trying to come up with permanent peace and offering freedom of the seas to all countries.
nations have a right choose their government.

August 14, 1941 is the date usually quoted. However, there never has been a signed copy of the so-called "Atlantic Charter". That name was not even given to it by a socialist newspaper until about August 19, 1941. At a December 19, 1941 press conference, FDR stated, "No one ever sighed the Atlantic Charter."
