Slovenia will not accept an invitation from US President Donald Trump to join the “Council for Peace”, Slovenian Prime Minister Robert Golob announced on Wednesday evening, according to Reuters, taken by Agerpres.
Trump invited dozens of leaders to participate in the new initiative led by the US, which would be chaired by the leader of the White House and had the initial goal of ending the war in the Gaza Strip, later the goal being extended to the resolution of conflicts in the world.
“The main concern is that the mandate is too broad and could dangerously undermine the international order based on the United Nations Charter,” said Golob, quoted by the N1 news portal.
“Although we find any initiative that can calm the situation in the Middle East to be commendable, this invitation dangerously violates the wider international order and not only the pacification in Gaza”, he emphasized.

At the end of last week, several countries announced that they had received invitations to be part of the new initiative, including Canada, France and Germany.
“The 'Peace Council' is an international organization aimed at promoting stability, restoring reliable and legitimate governance and guaranteeing lasting peace in regions affected by or threatened by conflicts,” reads the preamble of the eight-page text sent to the invited states.
The text insists, among other things, on “the need for a more agile and effective international peace organization”.

Donald Trump would be “the first president of the 'Council for Peace'”, whose foreseen powers are extremely extensive: he will be the only one able to invite other heads of state and government to join the initiative and will be able to revoke their participation in the event of a veto with a two-thirds majority of the member states.
Each state exercises a mandate with a maximum duration of three years, except for the member states that transfer at least 1 billion dollars to the accounts of the “Council for Peace” during the first year following the entry into force of the Charter, the text also shows.
