Word of the Week #9

unilateral

The article, “US freezes UNEWSCO funds for recognizing Palestine”, written by Khaled Abu Toameh, uses the word unilateral multiple times to describe Palestine’s acceptance into the United Nations.

“The US and Israel have opposed all such unilateral bids and have argued that statehood should be achieved through a negotiated peace deal with Israel.”

u·ni·lat·er·al adjective (of an action or decision) Performed by or affecting only one person, group, or country involved in a particular situation


The unilateral course of action the group decided on affected the school as a whole.
