North Atlantic Council

The North Atlantic Council (NAC) is the main decision-making body of NATO, composed of representatives from all member countries. It meets regularly to discuss security issues, set policies, and coordinate defense efforts across member states. The NAC ensures collective defense, meaning an attack on one member is considered an attack on all. It functions as a forum for political consultation, strategic planning, and crisis management, helping maintain stability and security in the North Atlantic region through collaborative cooperation and shared responsibilities among its members.
