From what can be gleaned from the backstory of Deus Ex, UNATCO was formed in the early 21st century, probably at the end of or after the events of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, as an ad hoc response by UN member nations to the growing problem of international terrorism. The exact date of the genesis of UNATCO is unclear although several of the game's characters have worked for the organization for many years, including Sam Carter, Paul Denton, Anna Navarre and Gunther Hermann. The game's protagonist, 23 years old in the game, also mentions adolescent dreams of working for the organization. Before the events of Deus Ex, UNATCO with the collaboration of INTERPOL locate and storm the Knights Templar headquarters in Paris and dissolve the organization. With funding from the United States, UNATCO has become a standing international counterterrorist police force; the term "world police" is used to describe the organization. Later, when the Statue of Liberty is bombed, UNATCO (under the orders of Majestic 12) produces false evidence to blame the Silhouette. In reality, UNATCO was behind the bombing. By the game year, 2052, UNATCO has formed its headquarters on Liberty Island in New York City.

In the intro of the game, Walton Simons says that UNATCO was "formed by executive order"; however, one book and one newspaper mention a "UNATCO Charter", which would have to be a treaty like the UN Charter.

At the start of the game, it appears that UNATCO's intent is to defeat global terrorism perpetrated by groups like the National Secessionist Forces or Silhouette. But as the story progresses the player discovers that the director, Joseph Manderley, is the pawn of a secret conspiracy that calls itself Majestic 12. As a consequence, UNATCO is just a single tool for global hegemony. By the end of the game the player works actively against the covert operations of UNATCO and Majestic 12.
UNATCO's American base is in the location of an underground bunker beneath Liberty Island. Deeper beneath the base are the Majestic 12 laboratories and prison. Several UNATCO agents have access to the MJ12 facilities beneath the Liberty Island UNATCO base, including Manderley, Anna Navarre, Paul Denton and Gunther Hermann.

The player uncovers financial links that bind UNATCO to Walton Simons, head of the FEMA and a key leader of Majestic 12. UNATCO does much of MJ12's dirty work, including the dispersal of biological warfare agents against the general population, and military suppression of any peaceful or military resistance to UNATCO member governments. UNATCO's establishment as a permanent military police in the United States in the year 2051 is the first open display of MJ12's ambition for a world government. As Deus Ex begins, MJ12 operates openly as a military occupier in certain urban sectors of France. The game does not make it clear whether Majestic 12's open operations there are due to government complicity or military takeover. It is also made clear that the persistence in France of the strongest remnants of the Bavarian Illuminati necessitates Majestic 12's open military displays - much of MJ12's effort in Paris centers on the eradication the French Illuminati and their allies, Silhouette.
