Nations demanding compliance
International pressure is the collective influence exerted by foreign governments, international organizations, or global public opinion to compel a nation to change its policies or behavior.
It takes forms like economic sanctions, diplomatic isolation, trade restrictions, or coordinated condemnation: International pressure forced the regime to release political prisoners.
