The Peace and Security Council (PSC) is the African Union's (AU's) standing decision-making body responsible for the maintenance of continental peace and security and it came into existence officially on the 26th of December, 2003. It has 15 members, elected by the AU Executive Council on regional basis (three from Central Africa; three from East Africa; two from North Africa; three from Southern Africa; and four from West Africa).
The Council, which is a crucial department of the regional body saddled with the responsibility of preventing, managing and resolving conflicts in Africa, has on its next agenda the ongoing Boko Haram violence in Nigeria, the insurgency in Mali as well as other terror- related activities going on in the continent.See more Photos after the cut...
