government body

Explanation:
It's an odd-sounding phrase (and gets no Google hits), but from the context this seems to be what it means.

channel of authority

Explanation:
I think channel of authority might be appropriate for two reasons. One, it is a very normal English language useage. It's a channel, in the same sense as a chain of authority -- where there are many steps in the chain. It is not a single person or entity, but a series that must be moved through. Two, this may be a rendering into French of the English phrase, so why not just use the English? The French phrase gets almost no hits in Google, the English phrase gets more than a million.

Example sentence(s):

Dwight Eishenhower: I look to him as the channel of authority within the executive branch on foreign policy as I do to the Secretaries of Defense and
He asked "where is the channel of authority?" and suggested an ombudsman be put in place. Steve B. suggested that the Charter would clean up the lines of responsibility
