World Security Council

The World Security Council is a worldwide political organisation.

With an agreement with the United States the council were given special powers to overshadow the work of S.H.I.E.L.D. but after HYDRA was exposed as working within S.H.I.E.L.D. the council supported the decision to close down S.H.I.E.L.D and ordered the United States government to conduct a full independent investigation into everyone who worked for S.H.I.E.L.D to help discover who was and who wasn't part of the HYDRA infiltration.
