The document is a position paper against American hegemony in Iraq, etc.
"les Etats-Unis entendent maintenant faire assumer ce projet aux autres puissances mondiales, en le mettant à l’ordre du jour du sommet du G8 qui se tiendra au mois de juin prochain."
I'd especially like the opinion of Francophones about the this.
"make them accept"?
"force them to take on"?
OR?

to make them jointly responsible
My understanding is that they US plans to involve the other world powers - forcing them to share responsibility for (managing?, financing?) the project.
