U.S. President Donald Trump has officially launched the Board of Peace during a signing ceremony at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. This new international initiative aims to provide a platform for global conflict resolution, peacebuilding, and post-war reconstruction, starting with efforts in Gaza.
The Board of Peace is designed as a multilateral council with permanent members contributing funding and resources to support peace initiatives worldwide. While the board plans to collaborate with the United Nations, some critics argue that it may overlap with existing international peacekeeping efforts.
Trump emphasized that the initiative will focus on ceasefire enforcement, reconstruction, and security, with long-term stability requiring the disarmament of militant groups. Representatives from multiple countries attended the Davos ceremony, although some Western European leaders were absent, reflecting cautious optimism and ongoing debate about the board’s mandate and governance.
Supporters of the Board of Peace believe it provides a new approach to international diplomacy, prioritizing funding, accountability, and rapid response. Detractors warn of potential overlap with the UN, unclear enforcement powers, and questions about global participation.
The launch of the Board of Peace at Davos highlights Trump’s continued influence on global diplomacy and international peace efforts. This initiative may become a key player in resolving conflicts in regions affected by war and instability.
