African Union

The African Union (AU) is a continental organisation consisting of 54 African nations. Its goal is to enhance political, economic, and social cooperation across the continent. The AU seeks to prevent and manage conflict through organs like its Peace and Security Council. The AU has also compromised that it is possible to militarily intervene in a member state under the name of peacekeeping. The AU's efforts include addressing conflicts, advancing human rights, and coordinating responses to continental challenges such as health crises and climate change.
