Paul claims he counseled most of the world 's dictators and presidents in 148 countries including Saddam Hussein of Iraq , Slobodan Milošević of Yugoslavia and Serbia , Bashar al-Assad of Syria , Muammar Gaddafi of Libya , Charles Taylor of Liberia , General/President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan , and Hugo Chavez of Venezuela . He also claims , as a global peace leader , he successfully stopped seven wars . Through charitable contributions to his organization , several of Paul 's backers provided funds to purchase a Boeing 747SP airplane that Paul named " Global Peace Ambassadors " , which flew under the name " Global Peace One " . The aeroplane was formerly flown by China Airlines ; it was the aircraft in the China Airlines Flight 006 accident . The aeroplane was used for missions to Third World countries , delivering aid to disaster areas and to countries with people in need . A former crew member described it as a " flying death trap " . The volunteer pilot , first officer , and flight engineer all quit in 2005 because of concerns over maintenance and non-payment of debts , and the FAA eventually suspended the plane 's operating certificate due to insufficient maintenance . The aircraft is parked at Tijuana International Airport in Tijuana , Baja California , and is reported to be in very poor condition with expired registration as of December 31 , 2016
