The Sokovia Accords are an agreement between 117 countries within a framework that was explicitly established for the purpose of regulating conflicts between nations, and deciding when military action should be undertaken by representatives of member states against other sovereign states to “defend life, liberty, independence and religious freedom, and to preserve human rights and justice in their own lands as well as in other lands”. Since 1945 the UN has been the best solution the world has been able to come up with for managing and overseeing international peacekeeping operations. Placing violent non-state actors like the Avengers under the purview of the United Nations is completely in keeping with the decades-long global consensus on how to best manage international military interventionism. There is zero evidence that the Raft has anything to do with the Sokovia Accords or United Nations; the Accords were never signed during the film and there is zero evidence that they had actually come into force. The post above describes the Raft as “the US government imprisoning US citizens”, which is in keeping with the evidence seen in the film. There is zero evidence that the Sokovia Accords violate any rights of United States citizens. Private citizens of the United States do not have any rights to unilaterally carry out military operations in foreign sovereign states. There is zero evidence of any elements of conscription in the Sokovia Accords. On the contrary, the Avengers are explicitly told that they are free to walk away if they do not want to carry out military operations supervised by the United Nations. There is zero evidence or threat of any punishment for Avengers who choose to take this route. There is zero evidence that the Sokovia Accords would “force US citizens into self-imposed exile” of any kind. I honestly don’t know what this point is referring to. As the post above post says, all evidence points to the fact that Wilson, Barton, Lang and Maximoff were instances of “the US government imprisoning US citizens”, not of any international implementation of the Sokovia Accords. Their imprisonment was absolutely a gross violation of human rights – and an example of exactly the kind of human rights violation that the United Nations has spent immeasurable time and resources combating over the last 70 years. Indefinite imprisonment without trial may have become par for the course when the USA detains violent non-state actors, but to imply that the United Nations would in any way sanction it goes against every aspect of the organisation’s history. The United Nations has repeatedly and explicitly condemned the USA’s use of Guantanomo Bay and other Raft-like violations of human rights. HE’S AN IMPERIALIST SUSAN.
