Summary

Story summary

A resolution would grant members of President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace legal immunity for Gaza actions.
The draft also lets the board occupy Gaza property without compensation and set up an internal claims system.
Board officials denied any immunity framework, while scholars warned the draft could create a system shielding participants from humanitarian law.
The charter requires a $1 billion contribution for membership and lets top contributors bypass term limits.

History

Historical Context

In May 2003 the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1483, authorising the US-UK-led Coalition Provisional Authority to use Iraq’s oil revenue and granting its officials broad legal immunity. The resolution transferred $10 billion from the Oil-for-Food programme to a Development Fund under CPA control. That precedent is cited in today’s draft peace board proposal, which seeks similar immunity and funding mechanisms.
