About

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is facing challenges to its authority due to the emergence of the US-led "Board of Peace." Traditionally, the UNSC is responsible for maintaining international peace and security. However, recent developments surrounding President Trump's initiative are raising concerns about its relevance. The "Board of Peace," endorsed by the UNSC in November, was initially perceived as a way to involve Trump in the Gaza peace process. However, it now appears to be a separate entity, potentially undermining the UNSC's role. Several nations have been invited to join the "Board of Peace," with the US wielding significant control. This has led to criticism and comparisons to a "pay-to-play" version of the UNSC, with some analysts suggesting it's a more exclusive body. The UN chief has also expressed concerns about the US prioritizing its power over international law, further highlighting the challenges faced by the UNSC.
