unilateral
意味: Performed by or affecting only one side, party, or group; done without the agreement or participation of others.
Unilateral describes actions taken by one party alone, without consulting or involving others. In politics, 'unilateral action' and 'unilateral declaration' often carry a negative connotation, suggesting that proper consultation was bypassed. 'Unilateral disarmament' was a major political debate in Cold War Britain. In law, a 'unilateral contract' is one where only one party makes a promise. The word nearly always implies acting independently of partners or allies.
