Peace Board launches official site, even Kosovo, Albanian flags as founding states

The Peace Board has officially opened its website, marking a new step in the commitment to building a more effective and pragmatic architecture of peace at the international level. Also published on the official page are the 28 founding states of this new international mechanism, where Kosovo and Albania figure among them.

The founding statement says that lasting peace requires pragmatic judgment, common sense resolution and courage to get away from access and institutions that have often failed to produce concrete results.

The document stresses that long-term peace is built when citizens are empowered to take responsibility for their future, as well as through stable partnerships, oriented towards results and based on burden sharing and responsibilities.

Similarly, the need for a more flexible and effective international body in the field of peacekeeping is stressed, criticising approaches that create permanent dependence and institutionalise the crisis rather than outdo it.

According to the announcement, the founding parties have pledged to establish a coalition of states ready for practical co-operation and effective action, adopting the Peace Board Charter.

Among the 28 founding states on the site are: The United States of America, Albania, Kosovo, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Paraguay, Morocco, and other countries from Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America.
