international accord

Nations formally agree

An international accord is a formal agreement between nations on matters of shared concern—trade, environmental protection, arms control, or diplomatic relations.

The term emphasizes mutual consent and negotiated compromise: The Paris Climate Accord set emissions targets for participating countries.

Accords may be binding treaties or softer commitments depending on their terms.
