Meaning and Origin
The term "unilateral" originates from Latin and refers to something that pertains to or affects only one side or party. It is typically used to describe actions, decisions, or agreements that are made or implemented by a single entity without the involvement or consent of others.
Unilateral actions are often contrasted with "bilateral" or "multilateral" actions, which involve two or more parties, respectively. In the political context, unilateralism is often associated with foreign policy decisions made by a single nation without consulting or coordinating with allies or international organizations.
Examples of unilateral actions in various contexts include:
