US President Donald Trump's bid to create a "Board of Peace" has sparked widespread criticism, with many accusing him of seeking to undermine the United Nations and its efforts to uphold universal human rights. The proposed organisation is set to be run by war criminals, including notorious leaders like Russian President Vladimir Putin and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Under Trump's leadership, the US has been working to erode the UN's credibility and independence, particularly when it comes to issues of human rights. The administration has pulled out of numerous international agreements and organisations, including the World Health Organization, climate bodies, and humanitarian programs. Trump's team has also pushed for the removal of language related to human rights, diversity, and climate change from UN resolutions.
The proposed "Board of Peace" charter describes its mission as promoting stability, restoring governance, and securing peace in areas affected by conflict – but it conspicuously omits any mention of human rights. This omission has raised eyebrows among experts, who point out that such a body would be ill-equipped to address the pressing global issues it is intended to tackle.
Critics argue that Trump's plan amounts to a "pay-to-play" club for global leaders with questionable human rights records. The $1 billion fee for permanent membership has sparked accusations of corruption and cronyism. It remains to be seen whether any reputable governments will take up the offer, but thus far, only Hungary and Bulgaria have agreed to join.
The UN's problems are well-documented, particularly when it comes to addressing human rights abuses. However, this latest development threatens to undermine the organisation's already fragile reputation. Critics argue that the US should instead work with the UN and other international institutions to strengthen their ability to address human rights crises – rather than attempting to supplant them with a new, self-serving entity.
The "Board of Peace" represents a brazen attempt by Trump to consolidate his own power and influence over global affairs, using the guise of promoting peace and stability. Critics warn that this move could have devastating consequences for the global community, allowing war criminals and human rights abusers to shield themselves from accountability.

. The idea of a "Board of Peace" run by war criminals like Putin and Netanyahu is just disgusting. It's like Trump is trying to create his own parallel system that ignores human rights and accountability. I mean, what's next? 
Does he want to create his own version of the Bible where it's okay to disregard human life as long as you've got a fat bank account? 
It's all about playing politics and silencing critics rather than actually working towards real change. We need to be vigilant and speak out against this kind of self-serving power play. The UN has its flaws, but at least it tries to hold people accountable for their actions. This "Board of Peace" is just a thinly veiled attempt to legitimize Trump's own brand of authoritarianism 
like how can u try 2 undermine the un & its efforts 2 uphold human rights & then try 2 create ur own org 4 peace? it just sounds like a total copout. newsflash, dude: if u wanna promote peace, u gotta address the root causes of conflict (aka human rights abuses) 
. who's gonna be willing 2 shell out that kinda cash 4 a "pay-to-play" club? lol Hungary & bulgaria think they're so cool 4 joining already 
but let's see how long that lasts when the whole world sees thru trump's scheme
. we need international institutions that actually care about human rights & accountability, not some self-serving entity 4 trump's benefit
And what's up with the $1 billion fee for membership tho? That sounds super fishy 
...
, what's going on with Trump? He's literally trying to create a "Board of Peace" but it sounds like just another excuse for him to consolidate power & screw over the rest of us 
And now they're gonna charge some crazy fee to join... sounds like a total scam 
! Trump's plan is like, totally insane 
! Who does he think he is trying to handpick all these war crimes perpetrators to run our global peace efforts? 
. And the fact that there's a $1 billion fee for membership? 
Like, what kind of dark magic is this? 
This is all about Trump's ego and control, not about real peace and stability at all 
.
and btw have u seen the fee for membership? $1 BILLION?!? Like what even is that supposed to cover? A private jet or something? 
meanwhile, the real problem with the UN is that it can be slow and bureaucratic but at least they have a track record of trying to do good 
if trump really wants to make a difference he should be working on fixing the problems within the UN instead of trying to dismantle it entirely 
on TV every night. At least that was something I could trust. Now, I'm worried about what's going to happen to our world next. 
. and let's be real, having war criminals on this board is straight up dodgy 
. i'm all for promoting peace and stability, but not if it means undermining the un and its human rights efforts 
.
gotta say, trumps "board of peace" is a joke 
$1 billion fee for who? authoritarian regimes with questionable records? what's next, a "board of lies" or a "club of corruption"?
