    Council

    The North Atlantic Council (NAC) is the principal political decision-making body of the North Atlantic Treaty
    Organization (NATO), consisting of Permanent Representatives from its member countries.[1] It was established
    by Article 9 of the North Atlantic Treaty and it is the only
    body in NATO that derives its authority explicitly from
    the Treaty.

    Powers and duties

    The North Atlantic Treaty gave the NAC the power to


    set up subsidiary bodies for various policy functions, including a defense committee to implement other parts of
    the treaty. Since 1952, the NAC has been in permanent
    session.[2] The NAC can be held at the Permanent Representative Level (PermReps), or can be composed of
    member states Ministers of State, Defense, or Heads of
    Government. The NAC has the same powers regardless
    of the formation it meets under. The NAC meets twice
    a week: every Tuesday, for an informal lunch discussion;
    and every Wednesday for a decision-taking session. Usually, meetings occur amongst the Permanent Representatives who are the senior permanent member of each delegation and is generally a senior civil servant or an experienced ambassador (and holding that diplomatic rank).
    The list of Permanent Representatives may be found on
    the NATO website.[3]
    The 28 members of NATO have diplomatic missions
    to the organization through embassies in Belgium. The
    meetings of the NAC are chaired by the Secretary General and, when decisions have to be made, action is agreed
    upon on the basis of unanimity and common accord.
    There is no voting or decision by majority. Each nation
    represented at the NAC table or on any of its subordinate
    committees retains complete sovereignty and responsibility for its own decisions.
