This Eurth-related article is a stub.The Assembled Nations Security Council (often abbreviated as ANSC) is a pivotal component of the Assembled Nations, established to maintain international peace and security. The Security Council comprises 21 countries, falling into two key categories: permanent members and non-permanent members. The Assembled Nations Security Council operates under the umbrella of its parent organisation, and communicates in the same official languages.
Formation
The Assembled Nations Security Council was formed in 1958 following the Treaty of Deva. This treaty was signed in response to global conflicts that threatened international peace. The initial council was smaller, with 10 countries, but was expanded in 1989 to accommodate a more inclusive representation of global powers.
Operations
The ANSC operates through monthly plenary sessions and numerous committees that focus on various aspects of global security, ranging from disarmament to counter-terrorism. Whenever a security threat emerges, an emergency session can be convened within 48 hours. The permanent members hold the power of veto, allowing them to block substantive resolutions.
Budget
For the fiscal year 2024, the ANSC was allocated a budget of A$ 500 million. This is used to support peacekeeping operations, administrative costs, research initiatives, and conflict resolution efforts. Member countries contribute to the ANSC's budget based on a scale agreed upon every three years, taking into account the GDP of each member state.
Staff
The ANSC employs approximately 5,000 individuals, including diplomats, administrative staff, and specialists in various fields such as international law, military strategy, and conflict resolution. The Secretariat of the ANSC oversees the administrative functions and is led by the General Secretary. The staff is diverse, representing over 139 nationalities, reflecting its commitment to global representation.
Affiliations
The ANSC has several affiliations with regional organisations to bolster its efforts in maintaining peace and security:
- Entente of Oriental States (EOS) – Working together on maritime security and trade route protection in and around the Oriental ocean.
- Group of Island Nations (GIN) – Partnering to address the common challenges of island countries.
The ANSC also has observer status in several other international organisations, and maintains diplomatic backchannels with many nations to ensure swift communication in times of crisis.
