The Council of the UNAC is the collective head of the UNAC. This means that it wields an array of legislative, military, executive and appointative powers that have implications for the entire continent. Thus, it is the most powerful and important body of the UNAC. It exercises these powers through the passage of special legal instruments called security, temporary and extraordinary acts (STE Acts). These legal instruments make its decisions binding within the remit of its powers and duties as defined by the Charter of the UNAC from which it derives its authority.
