The Board of Peace Timeline Tracker documents every significant event in the formation and evolution of the Board of Peace (BoP) from its conceptual proposal at the United Nations General Assembly in September 2025 through May 2026. The dataset covers five categories of events: founding milestones, membership changes, military developments, diplomatic actions, and financial commitments. Each entry is sourced from primary documents — including UN General Assembly resolutions, the BoP Charter, and official secretariat communiqués — or verified wire reporting from Reuters, Bloomberg, Financial Times, and Al Jazeera. The tracker is updated following each confirmed event and is intended as a reference resource for researchers, journalists, and policy analysts monitoring the emergence of this new multilateral security framework.
