Could Harry become a signatory to the Accords?

After all, what happened to the White Court when they killed Margaret? Nothing. Or when they killed some of the Ordo Lebes? Harry would not be White Court ROYALTY as such, he would be a consort. "Be nice to Lara's toyboy" Now a signatory ... it's the difference between some foreign person kills a US tourist, and someone kills Biden.

There was no evidence against Raith for Maggie's death.
As for the Ordo, the perpetrators were killed and Lara paid weregild to the victims' families. So they paid via the Accords.
If someone broke the Accords to attack him as an associate or asset of the White Court or Winter Court, they'd open themselves up to retaliation.
So, they'd have to do it very subtly.

Murphy had the free time but she ded. Molly's got a job, Butters has a job. The Alphas are Wardens-types, not Senior Council-types.
And I don't trust Kumori Elaine far enough to her, so...

RIP magic users if both the White Council and Paranet are utterly subverted.

Nah, nothing so dire. The Paranet isn't organized enough to become an Accorded nation, but I bet with the Librarians, a new organization could be formed.
Combine the funding and resources of a secret government organization with the grass-roots network and neighborhood watch-nature developed during the war with the fomor, and you've got the basis for a new faction.
They could probably scrounge up three sponsors, and set up The Congress of Practitioners or something.

The Accorded nations would have to respect such an organization if only because it could tell the military where to shoot. They could raise layered ward around important sites. Not strong enough to stop an incursion, but enough to slow the initial rush and summon security that would normally be stopped by hexed equipment. Just putting up circles around crucial areas is priceless.
I like this idea but it could quickly become unwieldy and I could see it fracturing into regional and national squabbles.

I suppose it depends on the nature of the Librarians.
I like the idea of them being the current iteration of a timeless organization that has existed for nearly five thousand years, moving from continent to continent, collecting knowledge and artifacts but not getting involved because they understand the natural order of things, as well as that they are largely powerless in the face of such beings.
But they could also be an obnoxious, corrupt bureaucracy with over-confident, self-inflated mortals that think themselves superior because they know a bit about things others don't.
Given that Butcher has hinted at mortal resources being brought to bear against the supernatural, I'm inclined to think they'll be more like the former than the latter.
But so far we've every mortal authority (SI, CPD IA, FBI) all be asshats. If the agents seen in Dog Men are from the Librarians, then I'm not optimistic. If they're more like Agent Tilly, then maybe it'll work out
