Executive Council of the African Union makes decision by

The Executive Council of the African Union makes decisions by consensus. This means that all members of the council work together to reach a common agreement that everyone can support. Consensus is a decision-making process where everyone's opinions and concerns are taken into account and a solution is reached that is acceptable to all. It is a collaborative approach that encourages open communication, active listening, and compromise. Unlike a majority vote, consensus ensures that everyone's ideas are valued and incorporated into the final decision, leading to more effective and inclusive outcomes. The veto of the General Secretariat is not a decision-making mechanism used by the Executive Council.
