<P>
<P><JC>UNATCO and the World
<P>
<P>For far too long terrorists have exploited international tensions and regional legislative variations to elude authorities.
<P>
<P>A significant step was made towards eliminating these legal loopholes when U.S. President Philip Riley Mead lobbied the Congress to make the U.S. a UNATCO member nation in his speech to joint session of Congress in February 2049: "Enough is enough!" he declared and the citizens of the United States responded with enthusiastic endorsement of his position.  Not only did the United States become a charter member of UNATCO, but UNATCO headquarters are now located on Liberty Island under the graceful surveillance of the monument to FREEDOM.
<P>
<P>UNATCO deals not only with terrorist threats, but also any transgressions of the international legal code, including drug trafficking, software piracy, and money laundering.  With the full support of the United States, UNATCO was for the first time able to truly declare itself the "WORLD'S POLICEMAN."
<P>
<P><JC>Origins of UNATCO
<P>
<P>In recent years the swelling tide of international terrorism coupled with enmity between states, wildly varying laws, and an anachronistic devotion to arbitrary borders has resulted in the decreasing effectiveness of local law enforcement.  To resolve the problem, a neutral agency was required to enforce international law in an impartial manner around the world.
<P>
<P>UNATCO was formed with just such a mission in mind, an organization that could transcend national boundaries and provide security for all nations that subscribe to its charter.  Founded with the principles of the United Nations as its cornerstone, UNATCO is FAIR, JUST, and protects the individual liberties of all the citizens of the world.
<P>
<P>The criminal thrives on anonymity, but soon there will be no place for them to hide.  Victory over terrorism is the prize for our VIGILANCE.
