United Nations (Deus Ex)

The United Nations is an international organization and is bent on helping in maintaining world peace and advancing human development. While the UN may seem to be a nice organization, it is actually controled and was even created by the secret society known as the Illuminati and is later taken over by Majestic-12. It assists both organzations' goals in creating a global One-World Government and assist in their global hegemonies.

Foundation
Founded in 1945 after the devestaing horrors that was the Post-World War II world, the United Nations was founded by the United States President Harry Trueman as a way to prevent another Holocaust from ever happening again. The first original member nations were the original members of The Allies from during World War II but in secrecy, the Illuminati had created it and many of its members had infiltrated the organization and used it to advance their globalist agenda.

Pre-Collapse
In the 21st Century, the United Nations played a major role in international politics as globalization had began to increase rapidly and many continents and nations were part of smaller but major international organizations like that of the European Union. The UN now had every single nation as members of the organization and the Illuminati had used this to their advantage. During the 2020's the UN was caught up in a massive contreversy over human augmentation and was routinly pressured by the human supremacist organization known as Humanity Front to limit human augmentation but is was all a show as both groups were under the Illuminati's control.

The human augmentation debate soared as world-wide, there were mass protests and riots in countless countries across the globe and the UN and the International Community had to step in. In the upcoming game Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, human augmented people are segregated from other non-augmented people and it's most likely the United Nations stepped in and enforced these new laws. By the time 2035 had came around, the Illuminati was overthrown by the Majestic-12 Organization and MJ12 seized control of the organization and made the UN part of its organization. The UN was also engaged in war against various terrorist organizations across the world and formed UNATCO to handel the situation. SInce MJ12 controled them however, it was only used to quell resistance and insurgencies being waged by Illuminati Remnants that saught to regain their lost power and resotre the Illuminati to its former glory.

Post-Collapse
Following the disasterious event known as The Collapse, the UN had fallen. The global economy had completely collapsed as the Middle Class had completely dissapeared at this point and entire nations had dissintegrated overnight leaving the UN without many member states. As time went by things only got worse and worse until the UN finally dissolved around 2072, with world order almost non-existant, and governments either weak, inefficiant, or not even existaning at all.

Military
Main Article: United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition 

The United Nations has a large army of Peacekeepers and other soldiers ad weilds vast political power. Many of the UN's soldiers come from foreign countries like that of the United States and recieves the needed funds and money to do so. The UN established the United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition sometime in 2027 possibly and has since then waged war against known terrorist organizations like Silhouette and the National Secessionist Forces, although its only because both organizations and many others are actually splinter-cell factions that are part of the Illuminati Remnants and want to quell any resistance towards MJ12.
