Should the World Assembly establish a department that patrols the perimeter of outer space?

Some thoughts,

-Define Outer Space (that's harder to do than you'd think.)
-What would the WA be defending from, I think it would be hard for someone to convince the WA to vote a resolution defending the assembly from Aliens.
-Some NS nations take part in spaceage technology but others do not.
-Possibly the department could be some of Clandestine WA agency that looks into Anti-WA Espionage, patrolling the skies for enemy surveillance satellites.
-Possibly the department is a nuclear defence system against astronomical threats to the planet, namely large asteroids.

-Some NS nations take part in spaceage technology but others do not.

More particularly, some NS nations are interstellar empires. Try not to think too hard about it, that way lies madness.
