The AU was formally established in 2001 when the Constitutive Act of the African Union entered into force. In 2002 it replaced the Organization for African Unity.

The Peace and Security Council (PSC) is a standing decision-making organ for the prevention, management and resolution of conflicts. The AU’s headquarters are in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
