The Sokovia Accords, officially the Sokovia Accords: Framework for the Registration and Deployment of Enhanced Individuals,[1] and occasionally referred to as just the Accords, were a set of internationally ratified legal documents that aimed to regulate enhanced individuals. The Sokovia Accords were drafted by the United Nations following an attack on the IFID Headquarters.

The Sokovia Accords are a controversial piece of legislation; while some, such as Tony Stark, have viewed the Sokovia Accords as a necessary limitation to be put on enhanced individuals, others have argued that it undermines enhanced individuals and prevents them from saving lives. The signing of the Sokovia Accords resulted in the Avengers Civil War, and some have considered the Avengers' failure in preventing the Snap to be in part due to the ratification of the Accords.

History[edit | edit source]

The Sokovia Accords were drafted by the United Nations in response to Wanda Maximoff accidentally killing 26 people in Lagos, Nigeria, while attempting to stop a terrorist threat. Other events also resulted in the Accords, including the Battle of New York and the Battle of Sokovia, for which the Accords gets its name from. The Accords were presented to the Avengers by Thaddeus Ross, now the Secretary of State under the Ellis administration.

The Sokovia Accords divided the Avengers, culminating in the Clash of the Avengers. The clash resulted in the arrest of Maximoff, Sam Wilson, Clint Barton, and Scott Lang. As part of a plea deal with the Department of Homeland Security and the German government, Lang and Barton were allowed to return to the United States under the condition that they would spent two years under house arrest and three years under probation. Due to Lang's involvement in the Ant-Man suit, Hank Pym and Hope van Dyne became fugitives.

By 2025, the Sokovia Accords had been repealed.[2]

Regulations[edit | edit source]
