Draft Peace Council Charter
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has requested that countries seeking a permanent seat on the proposed new “Peace Council” contribute at least $1 billion.
According to the draft charter of the Peace Council, President Trump would serve as the council’s first chair, personally deciding which countries are invited to join. Decisions would be made by a majority vote, with each attending member state having one vote, provided that all decisions are subject to the president’s approval.
The draft states:
“Each member state shall serve for a period not exceeding three years from the date this charter enters into force, with the possibility of renewal by decision of the president. The three-year membership term requirement shall not apply to member states that contribute more than one billion U.S. dollars in cash to the Peace Council during the first year of the charter’s entry into force.”
The charter defines the council as “an international organization that seeks to promote stability, restore trusted and legitimate governance, and secure lasting peace in areas affected by conflict or at risk of conflict.” The council would become an official entity once three member states approve the charter.
The document also notes that Trump would be responsible for approving the group’s official seal.
