What is Trump's 'Board of Peace'

Donald Trump has invited dozens of world leaders to join his Board of Peace. The board is an initiative aimed at resolving global conflicts.  Some diplomats say it could harm the work of the United Nations.

Some traditional allies of the US have responded cautiously, and in a few cases have rejected Trump's offer. Meanwhile others, including nations that have long had strained ties with Washington such as Belarus, have accepted.

It remains unclear what legal authority or enforcement tools the Board of Peace will have or how it will work with the United Nations and other international organisations.
