== Role of the UN ==
I've been wondering about the actual role of the UN in the Halo universe and the whole thing seems pretty complex, even contradictory at points.
We know that the UN is actually a part of the UEG from [http://halostory.bungie.org/oconnor_mclees_080508.html this interview]. This alone seems quite odd, seeing as the Earth government is ''above'' the UN. From Contact Harvest, we know that the citizens on Earth are under the UN's control, which seems quite obvious. It isn't specified if they actually control the colonies or just Earth/Sol, but in The Cole Protocol, it was mentioned that the UN had at least some degree of control over the colonies or that it tries to keep them under the Earth government. Still, if the CAA is a governing body for the colonies, and it answers directly to the UEG and not UN, what is the UN's job? If the UN controls UEG's colonies, why is the CAA needed? Could it be that the UN acts more like it does today, as an organization aiming to preserve security, international law and so on, rather than an actual government or ruling body, which would be the UEG.
Does the Encyclopedia shed any light to this? I've always thought the human governing structure in the Halo universe has been pretty elusive and complex. Really, our articles aren't any better. [[Unified Earth Government]] doesn't even mention that the UN is actually under their control. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 12:29, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
