UN System — Bodies of the United Nations

Register consolidating minor UN bodies. Principal UN institutions retain individual entries (see Principal Institutions). UN Weekly is filed with the media outlets.

UNSF Criminal Investigations

Investigative arm of the United Nations Security Force. Opened a case file on the ELTS II android incident in February 2150, confirming through public-record request that the detained unit’s travel documents identified a real deceased Ceres miner. The investigation’s central question as of publication: where the unit came from, how long it had been in transit or hiding, and who helped it obtain the documentation. Prosecuted UNSF v. Patel (LIC-2152-0317); the docket was closed in 2157 without an opinion. — UN Weekly (2150), Petrescu petition (2190)

Legal arm of the United Nations; issues formal legal notices and demands on the UN’s behalf. By 2132, served Argus Extraction Defense with a formal Article 4 violation notice following the Kuiper Belt site boarding, asserting corporate liability for at minimum thirty-three undeclared embodied general-cognition units across three sites (Hygiea, Pluto, Kuiper Belt). Issued an internal memorandum assessing jurisdiction gaps in the Charter regarding artificial objects in open space. In 2159, reviewing the Sovereign Miners’ Coalition’s Tianshui Compact demands, offered Hygiea administrative-gallery space for the Coalition’s secretariat, and confirmed a new belt-wide labor-rights oversight body is in formation. — Notice and Demand (2132), Legal Memo (2132), CNN (2159)

UN Office of Colonial Health

Health-policy office of the United Nations. In June 2155 it confirmed that over 200,000 people across the settled system carried MHA-1, the radioprotective treatment known as black blood. In September 2191 the General Assembly’s mirror-fold resolution added diagnosis and treatment of mirror-fold encephalopathy to UN Basic Health Care Insurance for UN citizens; the Office’s director, Dr. Halima Osei, said: “We cannot treat people we cannot find.” The 2195 Citizen’s Guide records that the Office sets the scheme’s benefits and standard of care and administers the mirror-fold register, which closed on 31 December 2193 with 310,000 names; Mars is outside the scheme, and the Authority’s health service decides coverage there. — The Peer Review (2155), UN Weekly (2191), Citizen’s Guide (2195)

Coverage figure for the mirror-fold bill (A/RES/247/12). The register will hold 310,000 names of recipients of the 2130 class, retrospective to 2130 and closing 31 December 2193, compiled from manufacturing lot records, dispensary logs, health-authority registries, and self-declaration; the resolution's impact statement puts the uncounted at a further 20,000–60,000 recipients. The register is expected to confirm 4,900 infections and 1,300 suspected cases, 6,200 in all, about 2 percent of the names in it. Of those 6,200, 3,900 are UN citizens whose courses the fund buys with no co-payment; the other 2,300 are covered by the plan where they live — 27 Earth systems have adopted the Assembly's standard, 9 have not, and 3 are studying it — and independent belt stations may buy at list price but are not funded. The fund is 120 million UNC over three years: 96 million levied on the eleven producers of the 2130 class and 24 million from the UN settlement health account. Courses cost 21,000 UNC, less than half the 46,000 charged between 2188 and 2191, when 740 courses were administered; 3,900 courses at 21,000 comes to 81.9 million UNC. The preamble records 2,340 deaths since 2179, 1,760 after the first clinical course became available in 2187.

UN Permit Office

Handles extraction and exploration permits, with offices at Luna and Ceres. Established under the 2102 Permit Bill; applications are in person only, with no remote process. The 2195 Citizen’s Guide records the arrangement unchanged. — UN Weekly (2102), Citizen’s Guide (2195)

UN Orbital Remediation Administration

Chartered June 2157 under the UN Office for Colonial Development; mandate spans LEO through geosynchronous. Operates the first system-wide active debris removal fleet: twelve dedicated remediation tugs (first four under construction at Kosmograd’s shipyard, mid-2157) targeting large debris for controlled deorbit, plus a ground-based laser ablation system at three equatorial stations for nudging smaller objects into decay orbits. Initial appropriation: 4.1 billion UNC from Antimatter Bond surplus profits. Five-year target: forty percent reduction in tracked LEO debris mass. First director: Nancy Choi. — UN Weekly (2157)

UN Colonial Census Bureau

UN body responsible for settlement population tracking, orbital survey, and demographic reporting. Published the Mars report (2130): eight permanent settlements, ~121,000 registered residents, ~1,367 independent industrial outposts. First system-wide compilation (2155): ~1.22 million sustained human presence beyond Earth across Luna, Mars, the Belt, Jovian and Saturnian settlements, Pluto, and Venus. Second system-wide compilation (2165): ~2,508,000 sustained presence, up from ~1.22 million — growth at ~7.5 percent per annum, roughly 80 percent of it the Martian Great Settlement (~1.03 million net arrivals; thirteen settlements) — with scenario bounds of 50–100 million by 2200. Third system-wide compilation, The Bounds, Revised (November 2195): ~6,150,000 sustained presence, up from 2,508,000 — growth at 3.0 percent per annum, Mars 73 percent of the total and 87 percent of growth since 2165 — withdrawing the 32 million extrapolation and the 50–100 million bounds and replacing them with bounds of 7.0–8.2 million by 2200. Mars is counted as a separate reporting jurisdiction for the first time: the Martian Provisional Authority’s March 2195 census reports 4,820,000 residents against the Bureau’s 4,500,000 estimate. The 2195 Citizen’s Guide records the projections as revised after the 2183 Martian self-determination decision. — Mars Report (2130), The Settled Sphere (2155), The Settled Sphere (2165), The Bounds, Revised (2195), Citizen’s Guide (2195)

Civil Fleet Registry

Fleet registry of the UN, under the UN Office for Colonial Development. Classes Citadel-class carriers as mobile stations; issues and renews civilian armament certificates under the Civilian Armament Code (Registry Circular 2164-1), which grades civilian hulls in three armor classes and sets point-defense minimums by tonnage and route. In October 2168, following the Demeter raid, opened an amendment review of Circular 2164-1 amid insurer contestation of claims on hulls whose certificates and routes did not match. — UN Weekly (2165), Martian Radio (2168)

UN Patent Office

Patent registry of the United Nations, seated at Luna. Granted Pietro Galli’s “Superconducting magnetic decoupling collar for rotating habitation modules” — Patent No. UNPO-L/2166/0317 (filed 22 March 2164, granted 14 June 2166) — the first public filing covering an element of the Ark’s hull configuration; two further Galli filings published or pending as of 2168 (modular hard-point interface; agricultural-shell drainage under sustained axial thrust). — Patent (2166), Iron Orbit (2168)
