NORTH ATLANTIC COUNCIL (NAC)
The North Atlantic Council is the principal political decision-making body within NATO. It oversees the political and military process relating to security issues affecting the whole Alliance. It brings together high-level representatives of each member country to discuss policy or operational questions requiring collective decisions, providing a forum for wide-ranging consultation between members on all issues affecting their peace and security.
Policies decided in the NAC are the expression of the collective will of all member countries of the Alliance since decisions are made on the basis of unanimity and common accord.

The Committee assists in developing overall Strategic Concepts for the Alliance and preparing an annual long-term assessment of the strength and capabilities of countries and areas posing a risk to NATO’s interests.
