Board of Peace Defense Articles and Services Eligibility Determination
Summary
Presidential Determination No. 2026-06, issued April 8, 2026, finds that furnishing defense articles and defense services to the Board of Peace will strengthen the security of the United States and promote world peace. The determination invokes statutory authority under section 503(a) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 and section 3(a)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act. The Secretary of State is directed to transmit this determination to Congress and publish it in the Federal Register.
“By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 503(a) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 and section 3(a)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act, I hereby find that the furnishing of defense articles and defense services to the Board of Peace will strengthen the security of the United States and promote world peace.”
U.S. defense exporters and manufacturers should verify whether existing or prospective contracts with the Board of Peace now fall within this authorization. While the determination removes a potential eligibility barrier for defense trade with this entity, all transfers remain subject to standard ITAR licensing requirements and State Department review.
