Representatives of 20 states present signed the founding paper of the Peace Council in Davos. The organization set up by U.S. president Donald Trump is to oversee the peace process in the Gaza Strip, but besides to address conflicts in another parts of the planet and to any degree become an alternate to the UN-et. Among the signatories there were no Poland and most NATO countries.
The Peace Council was established at the 56th planet economical Forum in Davos. The founding paper was signed by representatives of 19 countries, including Viktor Orbán, Prime Minister of Hungary, Javier Milei, president of Argentina, or the ruling Azerbaijani Ilham Aliyev. It was besides signed by the founder of the organization – Donald Trump, president of the United States.
The Peace Council is intended to oversee the mediate East peace process. president Trump, however, wants to put out conflicts in another parts of the world. By the way, it recognises that as a forum for global dialog it could become to any degree an alternate to the UN. – We have achieved success in Gaza Strip, so we can accomplish success in another places too," said the president of the United States during his speech in Davos.
– erstwhile the Council is completed, we will be able to address many challenges. I have always said that the UN has tremendous potential, but it does not usage it," emphasized the United States leader. The Council would be headed by Trump for life. He would have a decisive voice in it, too. The word of office of the associate States would last 3 years. However, the countries afraid could apply for permanent membership. However, for specified a privilege a billion dollars should be paid.
The White home invited over 50 countries to participate in the organization. As quoted by the media, any 30 leaders have so far responded positively. Among them was the leader of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenka. The final decision has not yet been made by the president of Russia – Vladimir Putin.
The majority of NATO countries are besides not included in this group. The U.S. President's invitation was rejected by Norway and Sweden, most likely not accepted by Germany and France, with large doubts about Finland, Italy or the United Kingdom. The causes are complex: from the tensions that Trump caused, announcing the desire to take over Greenland, through the reluctance to sit in a single group with dictators like Putin and Lukashenko, to the doubts associated with the possible marginalisation of the UN-et role. Many Western leaders besides dislike the virtually unlimited power that the president of the United States would exercise in the Council.
Poland will not join the Council – at least for now – either. "Poland's participation in the Council of Peace is crucial and necessary, but this kind of global agreement must go through the full constitutional procedure, which was the subject of a conversation with president Donald Trump and was accepted with large understanding," said president Karol Nawrocki on tv yesterday, who received a name invitation to the fresh organization from Trump.
He referred to the President's decision in the programme "Graffiti" in Polsat News Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence. I think it's a good move. Rejecting an invitation without analysis would be a mistake, accepting without a constitutional process would be impossible – he commented.
Meanwhile, Davos lives not only the establishment of the Council of Peace. Emotions invariably ignite the subject of Greenland. In yesterday's speech president Trump again declared that the US would want to take over the island from Denmark. However, he rejected the anticipation of utilizing an army for this purpose. Tonight, after talking to Mark Rutte, NATO Secretary-General, stated that the framework for a future agreement on this substance was ready. He admitted that a "long-term deal" was involved, and if it was finalized, "the US will receive everything they wanted".
Media reports shortly appeared that the US and Denmark could refresh the defensive cooperation agreement concluded in 1951 and extraterritorial US bases would be located on the island. However, Rutte himself, in an interview with Fox News, denied that the conversation with Trump was about taking over Greenland, and Mette Frederiksen, Prime Minister of Denmark, reiterated that her country was open to any agreement, provided that territorial integrity was respected.
