The National Defence Council of Belmonte (Luzelese: Conselho de Defesa Nacional de Belmonte, CDNB) is a Belmontese institution responsible to inform and advise the president on military and security affairs, including threats on national sovereignty and integrity, acting closely with the presidency, the Federal Government and the Armed Forces. Established in 1957, the CDNB was created to keep military control over major government issues during the height of the Swords' Republic, but since its fall it evolved into a non-partisan organization.
