A personal appeal to President Donald J. Trump

THE BREEDO WAY TO PEACE ON EARTH
A Personal Appeal to President Donald J. Trump

August 12, 2026

President Donald J. Trump
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

Dear Mr. President:

I respectfully ask you to personally consider a proposal that I believe could fundamentally change the way the free nations of the world confront tyranny, war, wrongful imprisonment, and crimes against innocent people.

I call it The Breedo Way to Peace on Earth.

Its central proposal is the creation of a new international organization — the United Democratic Republic Nations (UDRN) — bringing together nations that meet meaningful standards of representative government, freedom, human rights, and the rule of law.

Mr. President, I am approaching you and the United States first. Before I formally appeal to the leaders of other nations, I would like America to have the opportunity to examine this proposal and determine whether the United States could take the lead in bringing democratic nations together.

I am asking you to consider inviting qualifying democratic nations to an exploratory conference where they could debate, improve, and ultimately determine whether to establish the UDRN.

The proposal would also address one of the great weaknesses of the present international system: governments responsible for grave abuses can wield international influence while innocent people suffer.

What do we tell a mother whose child has been murdered by a tyrannical government? What do we tell parents whose innocent son or daughter has disappeared into a prison? What do we tell the family of a woman who has been raped or tortured? What do we tell an innocent political prisoner sitting alone in a cell tonight simply because he or she demanded freedom?

We cannot save every person immediately. But the democratic world should never accept systematic murder, torture, rape, aggressive warfare, or wrongful imprisonment as simply the internal business of another government.

Under the UDRN proposal, an independent World Court would investigate the gravest international crimes. When supported by sufficient evidence and due process, lawful warrants, asset freezes, travel restrictions, and other coordinated measures could be used to hold responsible individuals accountable.

The proposal also raises an important practical opportunity concerning the present United Nations Headquarters in New York. Rather than abandoning international infrastructure and decades of administrative experience, I ask your Administration and Congress to examine whether a lawful, negotiated arrangement could eventually allow the existing headquarters, useful operations, and qualified personnel to become part of the UDRN.

America should not dictate the final UDRN Charter. America should start the conversation.

I respectfully ask you to have appropriate White House, State Department, national-security, legal, and congressional officials review the enclosed proposal.

If they believe the concept has merit, I ask you to consider taking the historic first step: Invite the democratic nations of the world to America and ask them to help build something better.

By way of background, I am a retired Police Lieutenant and Acting Chief of Police and the author of Article 78 Justice, which recounts my own experiences involving government accountability and the pursuit of justice. Those experiences strengthened my belief that no individual or government official should be beyond accountability.

Mr. President, every great undertaking begins when someone is willing to take the first step. I am asking you to consider taking that step for the United States — and for people throughout the world who cannot speak freely for themselves.

Respectfully,
Alvin J. Brideau

The Breedo Way and the UDRN — detailed proposal

Re: The Breedo Way to Peace on Earth and the United Democratic Republic Nations (UDRN)

Dear President Trump:

My name is Alvin J. Brideau, and I am writing to ask you to consider an idea that I believe could fundamentally change the way the free nations of the world work together to protect peace, freedom, and innocent human life.

I have written a book entitled The Breedo Way to Peace on Earth: Abolish the Present United Nations and Create the United Democratic Republic Nations (UDRN).

The central proposal is straightforward: democratic and republican nations should begin serious discussions about replacing the present political structure of the United Nations with a new organization composed of nations whose governments are genuinely accountable to their people.

The United Nations was created with worthy intentions, but its present structure permits authoritarian governments to exercise enormous influence over questions involving freedom, human rights, war, and international justice. Permanent veto power can prevent meaningful international action even when innocent people are suffering.

I believe America can lead the discussion about something better.

The United Democratic Republic Nations (UDRN) would be founded upon representative government, the rule of law, human rights, accountability, peaceful cooperation, and collective security. There would be no permanent veto power allowing one nation to prevent the rest of the democratic world from acting.

The UDRN would also establish an independent World Court with real but carefully limited legal authority. When sufficient evidence exists of genocide, crimes against humanity, aggressive war, torture, or other defined grave international crimes, the court should be capable of conducting investigations, issuing warrants, seeking lawful asset restrictions, protecting witnesses, and requesting enforcement assistance from participating nations.

Every accused person must receive due process. Political disagreement must never become a crime. Evidence must determine guilt—not politics. But political power should not place anyone permanently beyond the reach of justice.

Mr. President, behind these international debates are real human beings.

What do we tell a mother whose son or daughter has been murdered by an oppressive government? What do we tell the family of an innocent person sitting in a prison cell because he criticized those in power? What do we tell a woman who has been raped or tortured during a conflict while the international community debates resolutions? What do we tell innocent civilians who know that the outside world is aware of their suffering but believe nobody is willing to act?

We must be able to tell them that the free world will not simply forget them.

I also believe membership in the UDRN should carry a meaningful commitment of collective defense. A peaceful democratic nation should know that it will not stand alone if attacked.

The United States possesses unmatched military, economic, diplomatic, and technological strength. Subject to our Constitution, Congress, treaties, and laws, I believe America should be prepared to help defend UDRN member nations against qualifying external aggression. Other member nations should contribute according to their abilities.

The purpose of this strength would not be conquest. It would be deterrence and peace through strength.

I also propose that we preserve what presently works within the United Nations. Useful humanitarian agencies, experienced employees, administrative systems, international health programs, food assistance, refugee programs, and other successful operations should not simply be discarded.

The present United Nations headquarters in New York should also be considered for continued use by the new organization if legally and financially practical. The objective should be transformation—not needless destruction and rebuilding.

Money saved through reform, elimination of unnecessary bureaucracy, and greater financial accountability could be directed toward genuine humanitarian priorities: combating hunger, expanding clean water, helping refugees, improving health and education, responding to disasters, and addressing serious environmental needs.

Mr. President, I am not suggesting that I possess every answer. The details would have to be debated by Congress, your Administration, constitutional and international-law experts, and the democratic nations of the world.

I am asking you to begin the conversation.

Invite the democratic nations to the table. Ask whether an international organization designed in 1945 remains the best structure for the challenges of the twenty-first century. Ask whether democratic nations can build something better.

I respectfully request an opportunity for my proposal and book to be reviewed by you or the appropriate members of your Administration.

America has repeatedly changed history by refusing to accept that existing institutions could never be improved. Perhaps it is time to do so again.

Respectfully,

What happens next

After writing to the President, the next step is to send the proposal to leaders of democratic nations throughout the world and ask for their opinions and participation.
