Peace and Security Council

The Peace and Security Council is the organ of the African Union in charge of enforcing union decisions. It is patterned somewhat after the United Nations Security Council.

Members are elected by the Assembly of the African Union so as to reflect regional balance within Africa, as well as a variety of other criteria, including capacity to contribute militarily and financially to the union, political will to do so, and effective diplomatic presence at Addis Ababa.

The council is composed of fifteen countries, of which five are elected to three-year terms, and ten to two-year terms. Countries are immediately re-eligible upon the expiration of their terms.

The African Standby Force is an associated military programme.

As of January 2016, the fifteen members of the PSC are:

  •  Algeria

    Odile Odila

    by: João Bosco

    Odilê, odilá
    O que vem fazer aqui meu irmão
    Vim sambar
    Ô di lê, ô di lá
    Que vem fazer aqui meu irmão
    Vim sambar, obá
    Entra na corrente
    Corpo, mente
    Coração, pulmão
    Pra junto com a gente viajar
    Na energia-som
    Que veio de longe atravessou raio e trovão
    Pra cair no samba e receber a vibração
    Odilê, odilá...
    Com a negrada do Harlem Jesus Cristo
    Também vem
    E pra sair do transe só com sino de Belém
    Que faz romaria e procissão, samba também
    E quem ta comigo, ta com o povo do além
    Odilê, odilá...
    Quem samba, se sobe tem combá tem furufim
    Teve um olho d´água
    E um sorrido de marfim
    Se volta beijada é pigmeu ou curumim
    Vira um preto velho pra sambar com a gente assim
    Odilê, odilá...
    Preta velha bate pé, bate colhe levanta pó
    Dá marafo pro Odilê e solta logo seu gogó
    Odilá de madrugada nem sem viola ta só
    Pois ta com axá da velha nega preta sua vó
