diplomatic settlement
Treaty between nations
A diplomatic settlement is an agreement reached through negotiation rather than military force or legal proceedings.
Nations pursue diplomatic settlements to resolve territorial disputes, end conflicts, or establish treaties.
The phrase emphasizes peaceful resolution: After months of talks, the two countries reached a diplomatic settlement over fishing rights.
