Indonesia's Participation in Trump's Board of Peace (BOP)
📌 At least 26 countries have joined the Board of Peace initiative launched by former US President Donald Trump, which Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto was among the first heads of state to sign.
📌 Indonesia views joining the BOP as a historic opportunity to increase its leverage in achieving peace in Gaza, with an initial contribution commitment of Rp16.7 trillion designated for Gaza's reconstruction.
📌 Some critics, including international relations observers, fear the BOP will be hijacked by President Trump, potentially weakening the United Nations (UN) and conflicting with international law.
📌 A key concern raised is the lack of Palestinian representation in the BOP charter, despite the involvement of several Arab nations and Israel.
Concerns Regarding BOP Structure and Legitimacy
⚖️ Concerns were raised over the BOP charter stating that decisions require the chairman's (Donald J. Trump's) approval, granting him substantial, almost absolute power, unlike typical international organizations.
⚖️ The executive board members are appointed solely by the chairman, including figures like Jared Kushner, raising fears that the structure is pro-Israel and lacks transparency regarding international oversight.
⚖️ Critics question Trump's moral legitimacy to advocate for world peace given his past actions, such as interventions like the one in Venezuela or attempts to acquire Greenland, which conflict with UN principles.
⚖️ The decision was made without prior consultation with the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR), leading to concerns that it reflects an impulsive presidential policy rather than a national grand strategy.
Diplomatic Strategy and National Interest
➡️ Proponents argue that joining the BOP is a strategy of "struggle from within" to actively pursue Indonesia's constitutional mandate for peace and the Two-State Solution.
➡️ Critics emphasize that joining without a clear governance design or parliamentary input jeopardizes Indonesia's national interest and risks creating a dual track in diplomacy, undermining Indonesia's established free and active foreign policy.
➡️ A core concern is the lack of clarity on the $16.7 trillion contribution—whether it comes from the State Budget (APBN) or is humanitarian aid—and whether Indonesia retains audit rights over the funds.
➡️ The potential negative impact on Indonesia's multilateral position is noted, as nations like France have explicitly rejected joining due to conflicts with the UN framework.
Key Points & Insights
➡️ The BOP structure is fundamentally flawed as it centralizes excessive power in the Chairman (Trump) and lacks clear mechanisms for oversight, transparency, and auditing of financial contributions.
➡️ Indonesia must maintain a clear and firm commitment to the Two-State Solution and self-determination for Palestine, using its presence within the BOP to influence negotiations rather than becoming a mere figurehead.
➡️ Several experts advise that transparency and parliamentary control are essential; the government must immediately provide a clear roadmap, cost-benefit analysis, and justification to the public and the DPR regarding its participation.
➡️ A major action point suggested by critics is to demand clear terms of commitment, including clarification on whether the Indonesian contribution is a multi-year obligation and establishing proportional burden-sharing to protect domestic development budgets.
