The United Nations Tribunal on International Law or U.N.T.I.L. is an official branch of the United Nations in the world of Champions Online.
U.N.T.I.L. has served as the global police force since the 1960's, often dealing with alien threats, monsters, high-ranking supervillains, or ruthless terrorist organizations determined to rule the world (of course).

U.N.T.I.L. claims jurisdiction over land, sea, air, undersea, and near-space. In addition to their sizable global military might on loan from the member countries, they also have the orbital space station GATEWAY to monitor extra-terrestrial threats, and plans for three more stations.
Hierarchy
At the head of U.N.T.I.L. is the Secretary-Marshall, who answers to and is appointed by the U.N. Secretary-General.
