The shield is Article 11 of the Italian Constitution. It allows Italy to participate in international organizations dealing with peace, but only "on equal terms with other states."
After France, Italy will say "NO" to US President Donald Trump's invitation to participate in the Peace Board.
The reason for this, according to the newspaper "Corriere della Serra" , is Article 11 of the Constitution, which allows Italy to participate in international organizations dealing with peace, but only "on equal terms with other states".
This is the opposite of the Peace Board designed by Donald Trump, in that it is a kind of private UN with a billion-dollar entry fee (which Edi Rama has so far denied).
Meloni is expected to attend the Davos meeting, however Corriere reports that she is increasingly aware that she cannot sign on behalf of Italy for admission to the board, beyond the membership fee required to join.
The Prime Minister of Italy, even a few days ago, had a stance against Trump on Greenland, telling him that it was wrong.
In a phone conversation with US President Donald Trump, Meloni told him that threats to impose customs tariffs on eight European countries are "wrong" in relation to sending military forces to Greenland.
US President Donald Trump's government has asked countries to pay $1 billion for a permanent seat on his "Peace Board" aimed at resolving conflicts, according to its charter seen by AFP.
The board was originally created to oversee the reconstruction of war-torn Gaza, but the statute does not appear to limit its role to the occupied Palestinian territory.
What exactly will it do? And who has been invited? For what purpose?
The Peace Board will be chaired by Trump, according to its founding charter.
It is "an international organization that seeks to promote stability, restore credible and legitimate governance, and ensure lasting peace in areas affected by or threatened by conflict," states the preamble to the statute sent to countries invited to participate.
He will "undertake such peacebuilding functions in accordance with international law," she adds.
Who is the boss?
Trump will be president, but will also "serve separately as the inaugural representative of the United States of America."
“The President shall have exclusive authority to create, modify, or disband subsidiary entities as necessary or appropriate to fulfill the mission of the Peace Board,” the document states.
It will select members of an Executive Board who are “globally renowned leaders” to “serve for two-year terms, subject to removal by the President.”
He can also “adopt other resolutions or directives”, “acting on behalf of the Peace Board”.
The Chairman can only be replaced in the event of “voluntary resignation or as a result of incapacity”.
Who can be a member?
Member states must be invited by the US president and will be represented by their head of state or government, including Albania and Kosovo.
Each member “shall serve for a term of not more than three years,” the statute states.
But “the three-year membership mandate shall not apply to Member States that contribute more than US$1,000,000,000 in cash funds to the Peace Board within the first year of the entry into force of the Charter,” he adds.
The Board will “meet in voting session at least once a year” and “each Member State will have one vote”.
But while all decisions require “a majority of Member States present and voting”, they will also be “subject to the approval of the President, who may also cast a casting vote in his capacity as President in the event of a tie”.
Who is already inside?
The White House has said its members will include:
US President Donald Trump, the chairman
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio
Steve Witkoff, Trump's special negotiator
Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law
Tony Blair, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
Marc Rowan, American billionaire financier
Ajay Banga, president of the World Bank
Robert Gabriel, Trump's loyal aide on the National Security Council.
Who is invited?
The list of countries and leaders who say they have been invited includes, but is not limited to:
Russian President Vladimir Putin, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, Argentine President Javier Milagrosa, Jordan, Brazil, Paraguay, India, Pakistan, Germany, France, Italy, Hungary, Romania, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Greece, Morocco, Slovenia, Poland.
