US EditionTrump Says 'You Got to Let the UN Continue' when Asked About so-Called 'Board of Peace'
Trump launched the Board of Peace with about 60 invited countries aiming for targeted conflict resolution, raising concerns about undermining the United Nations' global role.
- On Sunday the founding charter was published by The Times of Israel, naming Donald J. Trump founding chairperson for life and framing the Board of Peace to promote global stability.
- By grounding its mandate in United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803, the BoP traces its origin to a UN decision linking it to Gaza reconstruction, while Trump initially framed it to oversee peace there.
- The charter concentrates extraordinary powers in the chair, including sole authority to invite and remove member states and appoint successors, while voting membership is limited to heads of state with three-year terms extendable by the chair.
- Legal experts warned that taking on additional tasks without matching mandates would place the BoP in direct competition with the United Nations, Eliav Lieblich said `The charter is clearly intended as a challenge to the UN and a sign of mistrust toward this organization,' adding `However, if many countries join, this could indeed become a challenge for the UN.'
- High-Profile appointments including Jared Kushner, Tony Blair, Ajay Banga, and Marc Rowan have drawn notice, while only states contributing more than $1 billion will be permanent members.
