In July, under the chairship of the Republic of Uganda, the African Union (AU) Peace and Security Council (PSC) convened seven substantive sessions. Held at ambassadorial, ministerial and Heads of State and Government levels, three of the sessions were on country-specific situations focusing on the situations in Somalia, Libya and Sudan. The council also held its inaugural annual joint consultative meeting with the Pan African Parliament (PAP) on 17 – 18 July.
