Assessing Trump's Board of Peace in wake of US-Iran war| Talking Foreign Policy

from Sound of Ideas · host Ideastream Public Media

On Jan. 22, the Trump Administration held a ceremony to launch the Board of Peace, a new international organization designed to implement peace in Gaza and other conflict areas.  Some have described the organization as President Donald Trump’s alternative to the United Nations, which he has repeatedly criticized. So far, 24 countries have signed up, although none of the signatories are America’s traditional allies. On Tuesday's "Sound of Ideas," we'll hear the latest installment of "Talking Foreign Policy," our quarterly series in collaboration with Case Western Reserve University, host Michael Scharf and a panel of experts discuss the implications of President Trump's Board of Peace. They'll also discuss how the current war with Iran impacts the mission of the Board of Peace. Does that conflict stand in contrast with President Trump's attempts at a global peace? Guests:- Michael Scharf, President, The American Branch of the International Law Association; Former Dean, Case Western Reserve University School of Law- Harold Hongju Koh, Professor & Former Dean of Yale School of Law; Former Assistant Secretary, The U.S. Department of State- Milena Sterio, Distinguished University Professor, Cleveland State University College of Law; Managing Director, The Public International Law & Policy Group- Leila Sadat, Professor, Washington University School of Law; Board Chair, The American Branch of the International Law Association- Jessica Peake, Director, The International and Comparative Law Program, UCLA School of Law
