US EditionTrump Eyes Basing His New Board of Peace at a Washington Building in Legal Limbo
- The Trump administration is considering the Washington building that formerly housed the U.S. Institute of Peace for the Board of Peace, which President Donald Trump unveiled last week at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
- After the seizure last year, former employees and executives sued, and a federal judge ruled against the Republican administration's takeover, leaving the Donald J. Trump U.S. Institute of Peace in legal limbo with enforcement paused after appeal.
- Images overlaid with the Board's logo prompted rumors the building would be used, and allied countries in Europe and elsewhere declined to join, suspecting it may rival the U.N. Security Council.
- Officials who spoke Thursday said the board’s administrative staff location remains undecided, while George Foote, counsel for former USIP leadership and staff, argued `a stay is not permission for the loser of a case to hijack the property of the winning party.`
- The board's 27 founding members will initially oversee the Gaza ceasefire, while the board’s charter indicates it aims to address other global conflicts beyond the ceasefire.

But to critics, it represents something else entirely: a return to top-down diplomacy that sidelines Palestinians, rewards power, and repackages coercion as peace-making. While political leaders across the world engage in grand initiatives and closed-door bargaining, one force…
