I humbly suggest this question is not strictly correct, (but I know what it is getting at).
As far as I know, UK Courts are required to give effect to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). They are required to do this under the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA). The HRA, it is an Act of Parliament which requires the courts to interpret domestic legislation in conformity with the ECHR.
I respectfully suggest the question should be reworded : "British Courts are required to give effect to the judgements of "the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) and European Court of Justice (ECJ)" Answer: True.
The UK is a dualist state - international treaties do not apply domestically unless there is an Act of the Westminster Parliament to direct UK Courts to give domestic effect to them. This preserves the 'sovereignty of parliament' so goes the theory...
As far as I know, there is no Act of Parliament which gives domestic effect to the UN Charter hence no relevance to British Courts.
