Terrestrial Human Union

The Terrestrial Human Union, formerly the United Nations, was a geopolitical organisation founded in 1945 on Earth after World War II, in hopes of preventing future wars between member states. It also deployed peacekeeping missions in areas with conflict.

The THU was based in New York City, USA.

Members
The UN was founded as a forum for human governments, though this rule has been bent several times.

UN Resolution 6155 was passed on September 29th, 2044. This reformed the UN peacekeeping force into a more centralised army, in the wake of the First Inhuman Rebellion, as well as the climate crisis making resources more scarce.

Peacekeeping and Military
Historically the UN peacekeepers acted as mediators and guards in areas of ethnic conflict, such as Darfur and Yugoslavia. After contact with aliens, the UN also acted as after the signing of the Treaty of Managua in 2275, the UN became the de jure army for Earth. The treaty stated that all national militaries had to coalesce into the Terrestrial Peacekeeping Force, but corporations were exempt from this, and a monopsony was established, with several PMCs competing for contracts with the one buyer, TPF.

Thus, the TPF was made up of a combination of regular troops, and mercenaries hired and loaned out by various PMCs. Conscription existed for some nations, but it was not common.

Dissolution
The THU was officially dissolved after the signing of the Treaty of Xiamen in 2200, which went into effect the following year. It was replaced by the Viechtyren Protectorate Council, which was effectively a puppet state for Viechtyr.
