Apparently, the Planetary Council is similar to what we know as the United Nations. As Brian Reynolds explains: "…you can also meet with all seven faction leaders to vote on matters affecting the entire planet, including global trade pacts, repealing the UN charter prohibiting atrocities, and many other weighty issues. While in the Planetary Council, you can try to influence people's votes through negotiation, bribery, or intimidation". Brian Reynolds from an interview by LDespot. Beyond Alpha Centauri.

Atrocities
As far as we know, the concept of atrocities in SMAC are only going to be portrayed in the use of certain weapons that are considered inhumain to use. You cannot, for instance, commit mass genocide. In the game, committing an atrocity would be the use of nerve gas in battle. Thus far, the only known weapon that falls under the atrocities is Nerve Gas Pods. You can learn about the inter-faction effects of using such weapons in the TRADE section.
