Passed in the wake of a disaster at Stamford, Connecticut, the SHRA required all superhumans to register with the government.

The precise terms of the Sokovia Accords were never disclosed, and even now it's unclear why Peter Parker was able to continue acting as a vigilante when his Spider-Man alter ego was neither an Avenger nor a signatory to the Accords.
