I doubt any democracy or vaguely responsible government not dependant on the US or Russia recognizes this "organization" as anything but a vanity program or a Russian Mob front.

His speeches yesterday were those of a mob boss.
This "board" is a governing board of a mobster criminal org.

that the Oval Office is occupied by a traitor who also is capable of making this face when he thinks of Three Little Maids from School Are We.

(175,777 posts)This board is simply a way for trump to declare himself king of the world
The full text of a charter for President Donald Trump's proposed Board of Peace sounds suspiciously like plans to make himself "king of the world," according to a political theorist.

A charter was sent out with invitations to dozens of world leaders, asking them to join the U.S. president on a panel to oversee the postwar management of Gaza, but the full text, obtained by The Times of Israel, conspicuously does not mention Gaza.
"So, the 'Board of Peace' [sic] not only doesn't mention Gaza in particular; it proposes to make Donald Trump in particular (not the president of the United States) king of the world," said Jacob T. Levy, a political theory professor at McGill University.
Levy dug into the full text of the charter and analyzed its rules, which he believes sketch out a plan to make the 79-year-old former reality TV star the ruler of the global conglomerate and then pass that title down to one of his heirs.
"Membership is subject to a 3-year term limit unless the member state either pays a billion-dollar bribe or the Chairman entirely unilaterally decides to extend it," Levy wrote. "The Chairman may choose to *terminate* a member state's membership (even if it has paid!), which requires a 2/3 vote to override."
Decisions shall be made by a majority of the member states that are present and voting, but subject to the approval of the chairman, and Levy dismissed that arrangement as absurd......
Levy argued that the arrangement was brazenly corrupt even by Trump's standards.
"Proposing this structure... is impeachable. It really is," he wrote. "Regardless of whether this organization ever even looks in the direction of Gaza, it's an assault on the international order subordinating the decisions of states to the personal jurisdiction of the Trump family."
