Rights advocates welcome Canada’s exclusion from Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

In January 2026, human rights groups in Canada expressed support for Donald Trump's decision to revoke Prime Minister Mark Carney's invitation to join the "Board of Peace." The board, unveiled at the World Economic Forum in Davos, is intended to advance Trump's plan to end the conflict in Gaza. Canadian groups like the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) and Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME) argued that Canada's participation would legitimize a plan that undermines Palestinian self-determination. They believe Canada should align with international law and human rights, especially given the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Trump presented the initiative as a key component of his 20-point plan to address the conflict.
