Revolutionary Command Council
The Revolutionary Command Council (RCC); Arabic: مجلس قيادة الثورة majlis qiyādat ath-thawrah) is the seniormost decision-making body in the National Command of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party, which makes all political decisions between committee sessions of the National Command, which are then subject to review at following sessions (typically occurring every one to two weeks).
The National Command elects the RCC, which meets daily and is responsible for acting on the National Command's behalf. As such, the RCC acts as the de facto highest organ of the Ba'ath Party in day-to-day practice. Members of the RCC usually have important roles within the federal government: for example, the National Secretary, who chairs the RCC, is ex officio President of the Arab Union while the Deputy National Secretary is typically Vice President or Prime Minister, while the remaining five members, as of 2024, consist of the Minister of Defence, Minister of Interior, Chairman of the Joint Security Committee, Director-General of the National Police Authority, and Minister of Foreign Affairs.
