# A Man to End All Wars — review record

Version 1 · 28 September 2026 · local draft, not an automatic publishing instruction.

The page’s structured case ledger is `src/records/peace-cases.ts`. It holds the eight named conflicts, dated claim paraphrases, findings, subsequent-evidence dates, primary sources and related destinations. Military summaries are imported from `military-records.ts`, not maintained as a second copy. Source correction should update the case record and evidence date together.

## Claim ledger

1. 23 September 2025 UN address: seven, naming Cambodia–Thailand, Kosovo–Serbia, Congo–Rwanda, Pakistan–India, Israel–Iran, Egypt–Ethiopia and Armenia–Azerbaijan. White House original video and Roll Call/Factbase transcript linked on page. Direct quotation limited to “I ended seven wars.”
2. 17 October 2025: eight including the Middle East; Ukraine described as a hoped-for ninth. Official Presidential Documents DCPD-202501023, page 11. This is an aspiration, not an additional completed war.
3. White House national-security page, retrieved 28 September 2026: lists the eight audited pairs. Retrieval date is not a speech or document publication date.
4. Higher tally reports, including April 2026 Lebanon references: not included as established completed cases. Original post, precise wording and case mapping need separate verification; no guessed tenth conflict.

## Case cutoffs and limits

- India–Pakistan: the May 2025 ceasefire and competing official attribution accounts through 21 June 2025. India acknowledges a Vance contact but rejects mediation/trade leverage; Pakistan credits Trump. Does not certify present security conditions.
- Israel–Iran: 2025 cessation contrasted with the new joint attacks on 28 February 2026; UK Home Office bulletin supports the later action. Existing Iran page retains subsequent chronology. CENTCOM direct retrieval returned 403, so it was not used as independently read evidence for this draft.
- Gaza: UN Women statement, available via its Japan national committee’s 10 September 2026 translation and linked original; 246 women/girls reported killed through 28 July 2026. Not a total casualty count. English original automated retrieval failed; label translation explicitly.
- Congo–Rwanda: US agreement preserved by UNHCR Refworld; UN Peacekeeping’s 29 June 2026 Swan report describes ongoing fighting. Full indexed UN source text was retrieved after direct-page error. No assumed September battlefield update.
- Armenia–Azerbaijan: signed declaration, initialled agreement and joint anniversary statement 10 August 2026. Positive implementation evidence retained. The sources do not establish a final treaty ratification date.
- Cambodia–Thailand: July ceasefire, UN report of resumed fighting 7–12 December, official second-ceasefire statement 27 December 2025. This proves failure of the first ceasefire, not continuing fighting as of September 2026.
- Serbia–Kosovo: NATO mission account, including 12 June 2026 posture announcement. Historical war distinguished from claimed newly ended 2025 war. No new settlement inferred from general improved security.
- Egypt–Ethiopia: UNU water-diplomacy study and Egypt’s 9 September 2025 UN letter. Letter records Egypt’s argument, not a legal ruling. Current negotiation status requires a fresh bilateral check.

## Nobel / Venezuela

Nobel clarification 16 January 2026: physical medal can change hands, laureate/award cannot. Trump’s 4 January official transcript establishes dealings with Rodríguez before the 15 January presentation. Treasury’s 25 September 2018 release establishes historical sanctions, not conviction or current sanctions status. White House 2 September 2026 statement calls the oil contract a private-company deal, explicitly denying it is a contract with the interim government. Do not claim the medal caused the deal, or present self-described “biggest” as independently verified.

## Revision triggers and release checks

Review on a changed tally, renewed hostilities, new ceasefire, verified ratification, major withdrawal/deployment, or a source correction. Preserve old case versions in source checkpoints. No scheduled automatic publication. Verify the quotations/dates, check links/players, desktop and phone overflow, keyboard access, reduced motion and search discoverability before release. Confirm subsequent treaty/ceasefire developments if updating a case’s “current” status. This first version states historical evidence cutoffs instead.

## Implementation verification

Build completed: 43 pages and 1,199 rendered searchable sections. Browser checks found eight dossiers, working expandable context, three on-demand embed players, no client errors, and no horizontal overflow at 1,440px or 390px. Reciprocal links checked on Iran, military, Gaza and crime; executive-orders backlink added subsequently. Cast links use the existing hash-driven person selector rather than a persistent DOM anchor; verify the selected name instead of requiring an element with that ID. Search for Egypt Ethiopia returns the specific dossier. Decorative hero is the existing fine-line timeline artwork in the exact site palette, not evidence imagery. Thumbnail failure retains a styled play panel.
