Draft shows Trump’s 'Board of Peace' seeks sweeping legal immunity for Gaza operations

newsJun 27, 202624779

A draft resolution obtained by the Guardian would give the UN-backed Board of Peace, announced by Donald Trump earlier this year, sweeping legal immunity for its officials, contractors and security forces for actions in Gaza. The draft specifically shields board members from prosecution over work in Gaza and includes language allowing the Board to obtain public property in Gaza "free of charge." The text covers both personnel and forces who would operate under the Board, and it would be difficult to hold those actors to account if the resolution entered into force. Critics quoted in reporting say the measure concentrates authority in the Board and would remove legal remedies for Palestinians harmed by its operations. The draft has prompted public scrutiny and calls for scrutiny of the Board’s mandate and oversight before any resolution is adopted.

Trump's "Board of Peace" that he's the lifetime head of, created a draft resolution to grant Trump and all its members broad legal immunity in the case of Palestinian deaths. Because nothing bad is ever EVER Trump's fault, and he must never suffer any consequences. www.rawstory.com/trump-267711...
