If it counts for anything, I'd certainly personally buy an updated edition of IST. I bought the PDF of the existing book some time ago, and rather enjoyed it.
Admittedly, since the UN system is actually part of my work - I'm a research minion - my matrix of enjoyment is probably drastically different from any other reader.
The concept of supers in the context of international organisations and a standing police or military force isn't unique, and the big comic book companies have done it. But it's generally not explored very in-depth - the most recent iteration of this I can recall is Justice League International, part of the new DC, but that was cancelled last year.
IST remains probably the best published treatment of the idea that I've seen, and I've actually gone out and looked for it. That makes it unique.
