Board of Peace Countries Tracker (2026)

The Board of Peace (BoP) Countries Tracker monitors the membership status of every state that has formally engaged with the Board of Peace since its proposal in September 2025 and its charter signing at Davos on 22 January 2026. The dataset covers full members (founding and later signatories), observer states, countries that declined participation, countries that never responded to their invitation, one rescinded application, and one case of a delegation blocked by a visa denial.

This page is updated as new information becomes available. All data is released under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and available for download in CSV and JSON formats. For details on how figures are sourced and validated, see our Methodology page.

Full Country Table

27 founding and later-signatory members include the United States and Israel — both central to the Board's creation and governance. Financial contribution detail is shown only where individually reported; the $17B headline figure is an aggregate (see funding breakdown), not a sum of confirmed per-country pledges.

Note: Canada was invited and initially agreed, then had its invitation rescinded on the same day the charter was signed (22 Jan 2026) after Prime Minister Mark Carney refused the $1 billion membership fee. Belarus intended to join but its delegation was not issued US visas in time for the Davos signing. Individual join dates for the six later-signatory members are not separately reported in available sourcing — they are known to have joined between the 22 January charter signing and the 19 February Washington summit.
