diplomatic intervention
Official foreign involvement
Diplomatic intervention is action by governments, international organizations, or officials to influence events in another country or resolve disputes between parties.
It typically involves negotiation, mediation, or pressure rather than military force: The UN called for diplomatic intervention to end the conflict.
The term often implies outside parties inserting themselves into situations where their involvement wasn't initially requested.
