Story
Past History
During the Omnic Crisis, as the nations of Earth tried and failed to contain the omnics, the UN was busy forming an international taskforce named Overwatch. This small, experimental group would bring together the best and brightest from around the world to wage asymmetrical warfare against the robots. Overwatch succeeded, and the war came to an end.
Two decades after the end of the war, Overwatch was faced with a series of shocking allegations: negligence resulting in high-profile mission failures; corruption and mismanagement; weapons proliferation; human rights abuses; and more. A special UN committee launched a lengthy and highly secretive investigation into the claims, which led to the disbandment of the group.
In the year before Overwatch was disbanded, the UN was involved in a cover-up of the destruction of its Swiss headquarters, maintaining that there was no foul play behind this event. However, classified UN debriefings revealed that it was a result of a power struggle between Gabriel Reyes and Jack Morrison, two of Overwatch's key members.[1]
Recent History
UN officials initially refused to comment on the string of attacks by Soldier: 76.[2] After the incident at the Overwatch Museum, however, the UN released a statement, stating, "The United Nations has not authorized any Overwatch operations. The organization’s charter remains revoked." They did not answer further questions.[3]
The international community was divided as to whether to intervene in the Second Omnic Crisis in Russia. The UN convened to discuss the issue.[4]
