World Council

The World Council (WC) is an international organization that was formed in 1983 as a forum as a broader platform for global cooperation, inter-state dialogue, and consensus in world affairs. Its objectives include maintaining international peace and security, promoting human rights, fostering social and economic development, protecting the environment, and providing humanitarian aid in cases of famine, natural disaster, and armed conflict.

The World Council Headquarters reside in a sovereign international parcel of land under the Council's own direct control on the island known as Portal Island. Its Secretary‑General is Gael Santángel from Qev. The Council has 5 primary organs: the World Council itself as an assembly constituent body, the Grand Tribunal, PORTAL, the International Security Organization and the Economic and Social Council. It is composed of 110 nations, encompassing nearly all of the world's sovereign nation-states.

## Structure

### World Council

The world council itself is an assembly constituent body which is the main deliberative, policy-making and representative organ of the WC. Its powers are to oversee the budget of the WC, receive reports from other parts of the WC and make recommendations in the form of World Council Resolutions. It has also established numerous subsidiary organs.

The World Council votes on important questions regarding peace and security, environment, development and the election, admission, suspension or expulsion of members. Votes that get a 2/3 majority get a recommendation of the Council but are not binding on the members. The Council may make recommendations on any matters within the scope of the WC, except matters of peace and security, which fall under the International Security Organization.

### Grand Tribunal

The Grand Tribunal (GT) functions as a high court of last resort and deals as an international arbiter explicitly with matters of warcrimes, nuclear warfare, proliferation, and threats to humanity and the environment enforced by the power of sanctions, trade embargoes, and other forms of economic police powers such as asset liquidity controls.

### PORTAL

PORTAL is an organization created in 1983 as part of the Treaty of Adrilla that ended the Second Eurion War. It merged with the World Council in 1987.
PORTAL oversees and organizes the use of the multiverse portal. It approves, or disapproves, uses of the portal to other planets that are connected with its network.

### Economic and Social Council

The Economic and Social Council (ESC) is a organization that promotes cooperation, freedom and human rights as well as make resolutions that improve product safety, ethical production and environment friendly production and transportation.

There are 6 specialized organizations within the ESC: The World Bank (WB), The International Health Organization (IHO), The International Cultural Protection Group (ICNPG), The International Program for Development and Refugees (IPDR) and the International Environment Program (IEP)

### International Security Organization

The International Security Organization (ISO) was created after the First Eurion War in 1918 as a forum to prevent nuclear apocalypse at the beginning of the Cold War with the development of viable nuclear weapons and competing geopolitical blocs.

The International Security Organization merged with the world council in 1983 as part of the Treaty of Adrilla to maintain international peace and security, oversee the use of illegal weapons such as WMD's, the establishment of peacekeeping operations, the establishment and enforcement of international sanctions and the protection of populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. Although the World Council needs a 2/3 majority to make a non-binding resolution, the International Security Organization can enforce their resolutions.

#### INTERCEPT

International Central Enforcement and Peacekeeping Taskforce (INTERCEPT) is responsible for the rapid deployment of military units to conflict zones to protect civilians, to deploy to crisis locations to provide medical aid and general protection, to locate and arrest people wanted by the Grand Tribunal and investigate incidents on an international scale.

#### Global Security Force

The global security force (GSF) is the army of the world council that is deployed in peacekeeping operations. Compared to INTERCEPT forces they are not a rapid deployment force.
