international disputes
Cross-border legal conflicts
International disputes are conflicts or disagreements between nations, typically over territory, resources, trade, or policy.
The term appears most often in legal and diplomatic contexts: The court adjudicates international disputes, mechanisms for resolving international disputes peacefully.
Such disputes may be settled through negotiation, arbitration, or international tribunals—or may escalate to sanctions or armed conflict.
