    I respect that you think one man can't affect international policy. However I think you are applying too much rigidity to the ideas of law.

    I'm sorry but this idea that laws are absolute is complete nonsense. New legislation, adaptations, overturning, or making amendments happen all the time! In every level of government. All it takes is enough people agreeing that the document in question doesn't cover a new situation. In the US we have a whole branch of government (courts) where people can protest legislation that is unfair (which Steve should have done). So even if amendments couldn't have been made (which is unlikely cuz superheroes are magnets for causing new an unprecedented situations) they could have sued!!! Not to mention Cap holds a tremendous amount of sway over public opinion, especially in the US.

    However back to my main point. Amendments happen all the time, which is how new bills are often introduced so as to cover new circumstances. Or if a legislative body doesn't want to risk overturning a document, they just add the amendments. This is especially prevalent in international polices. In fact several agreements between nations have a time limit because they know when the countries next meet adjustments will have to be made.

    So no it's is totally possible that amendments can happen, and if based on reality it likely would. Politics and law can be flexible. I think of it like this: Man doesn't serve Laws. Laws serve Man.
