"Initially, US President Donald Trump intended to use his so-called "Board of Peace", or BoP, to oversee peace and reconstruction in the Gaza Strip. The United Nations approved the plan last November by passing UN Security Council Resolution 2803. At the time, legal experts already warned it was a breach of international law. Two months on, it increasingly appears that Trump plans to establish his BoP independently of the Middle East conflict. In the founding charter published by the Israeli newspaper The Times of Israel on Sunday, the conflict in Gaza was not even mentioned."
"According to its charter, the body is intended to "promote stability, restore dependable and lawful governance, and secure enduring peace in areas affected or threatened by conflict" around the world. The document grants its chair extensive powers, and names Trump as its founding chair. The charter explicitly names Donald J. Trump as the founding chairperson for life. Early termination of the term of office is only possible through voluntary resignation or unanimous dismissal by the member states. Furthermore, each chairperson is to appoint a successor if he or she leaves office, a person who will immediately take over the official duties."
A charter for a "Board of Peace" (BoP) names Donald J. Trump as founding chairperson for life and grants the chair extensive powers, including appointing members and successors. The BoP was initially linked to overseeing peace and reconstruction in the Gaza Strip and was associated with UN Security Council Resolution 2803, but the publicly released charter omits specific reference to Gaza and suggests broader global aims. Membership and influence depend on large state contributions, with membership terms set at three years but extendable by the chair. Early removal requires voluntary resignation or unanimous dismissal by member states.
