Organised into various units and departments, each led by officials reporting to the AUC Chairperson or Deputy Chairperson, the AUC plays a pivotal role in continental governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"political-affairs-peace-and-security-department-paps-role-and-responsibilities\"\n    >\nPolitical Affairs, Peace, and Security Department (PAPS): Role and Responsibilities<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Habiba explored the work of one such department, the Political Affairs, Peace and Security Department (PAPS). PAPS is entrusted with overseeing the day-to-day operations of the AU Peace and Security Council (PSC) Secretariat. This includes monitoring peace and security developments, conducting analysis, and providing strategic and technical advice to enhance regional stability. PAPS also supports AU-led mediations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within PAPS, the Mediation and Dialogue Division (MDD) plays a crucial role. MDD is dedicated to providing indispensable political, technical, and logistical support to mediation and dialogue initiatives facilitated by or in collaboration with the AU. Moreover, MDD oversees the comprehensive lifecycle of these mediation efforts\u2014from planning and execution to evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joining hands with stakeholders across Africa, PAPS and MDD are committed to advancing peace and security across the continent through robust mediation and dialogue processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Invited by the AUC, Habibas\u00b4 time there was marked by insightful interviews with experts, extensive use of the African Union library and archives, and participation in the <a href=\"https:\/\/au.int\/en\/newsevents\/20240520\/10th-aucil-forum-2024-theme-international-law-alternative-justice-and-armed\">10<sup>th<\/sup> Forum of the African Union Commission on International Law<\/a> (AUCIL).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"alignfull wp-block-unilux-blocks-gallery-carousel\">\n    <div class=\"swiper swiper-gallery\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"A gallery of images\">\n        <!-- Swiper button Next & Prev -->\n        <div class=\"swiper-nav\">\n            <div class=\"swiper-nav__container\">\n                <div class=\"swiper-nav__grid\">\n                    <button type=\"button\" class=\"swiper-button-next\">\n                        <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-right \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-right\"><\/use><\/svg>                    <\/button>\n                    <button type=\"button\" class=\"swiper-button-prev\">\n                        <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-left \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-left\"><\/use><\/svg>                    <\/button>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <!-- swiper slides -->\n        <ul class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n            \n<li class=\"swiper-slide\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\">\n    <figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image swiper-slide__bg object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2024\/07\/Habiba-Abubaker_AUC-Visit-10-scaled.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2024\/07\/Habiba-Abubaker_AUC-Visit-10-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2024\/07\/Habiba-Abubaker_AUC-Visit-10-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2024\/07\/Habiba-Abubaker_AUC-Visit-10-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2024\/07\/Habiba-Abubaker_AUC-Visit-10-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2024\/07\/Habiba-Abubaker_AUC-Visit-10-scaled.jpg 1920w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 61.00% 52.00%;
