@22Michelle Is it actually the USA or just the USA's President, though?
Surely for the USA to establish a new international body like that would need very careful study by the nation's civil-service, judiciary, diplomats and politicians, and eventual agreement by Congress before it can be proposed to the world at large? Has that all been done?
Your observation led me to dig a little deeper.
With anything so contentious I try to find in its own words, but it has no information point such as a web-site. So where and how is it administered? It seems so far, only meetings between national representatives.
Under its gold-tinted badge showing only the North American continent, was authority by the UN Security Council, but that voted only to try to settle the Israel / Palestine conflict (nothing else) by an "international stabilisation force". Magically that became this open-sided BoP, rushed through in about four months.
I still found the BoP's Constitution, reported.
It makes no mention of Gaza, Israel or any other country. It states the Chairman's identity, and that he is not open for re-election as such; and his absolute authority including of membership elibility (his invitees only, at cost to their tax-payers), its executive committe members (proposed or appointed by him), his successor, any subsidiary bodies and its strange transient-existence / dissolution rules.
It hints at the possibility of physical buildings but so far uses only meetings between heads of states - not particularly nice states either, some of them - so querying what it wants so much money for, up-front. The $1 000 000 joining fee is for three years; or:
Article 2.1: Member States
Membership in the Board of Peace is limited to States invited to participate by the Chairman, and commences upon notification that the State has consented to be bound by this Charter, in accordance with Chapter XI.
Article 2.2:
(c) Each Member State shall serve a term of no more than three years from this Charter’s entry into force, subject to renewal by the Chairman. The three-year membership term shall not apply to Member States that contribute more than USD $1,000,000,000 in cash funds to the Board of Peace within the first year of the Charter’s entry into force.
I do not know the legal meaning of "cash funds" in such matters - it looks mere tautology. However there is no mention of the money's intended purposes, nor of any proper auditing and publishing of accounts - and my arithmetic, if we ignore inflation, says a thousand million US Dollars would buy >300 years' membership! Yet, the same constitution suggests a possibly short existence anyway, even only two years, as the Chairman shall decide; so would those nations be refunded the balance?
62 invitees, 19 have signed up. Minimum income so far, $19 000 000. For...?

@ArishMell Well curently the current President and his administratio shoulf be nlocked from any such body. And given the US nation Is guilty of allowing the current President and Administration to come to power with the former already a criminal. That the Constitution has been has been sidelined, the Law is broken every day by what is suposed to part of Law Enforcement it should be several years, at least, after the return of a Law Abiding Government that it should vonsidered gor this "Peace Board" should it still be proposed.

@22Michelle I take your point but I do understand Trump and his Party were elected there.
Quite how a nation would unlock its president from an organisation he has created and operates, I don't know. Perhaps it will only happen if enough other countries simply ignore his "Board of Peace" and decline any invitations to join it. So far only about a third of the invitees have signed up.
