Közbeavatkozás

Közbeavatkozás is a Hungarian term that translates to "intervention" or "interference" in English. It is a broad term that can refer to various actions taken to alter or influence a situation, process, or system. The specific meaning of közbeavatkozás depends heavily on the context in which it is used.

In a political or international relations context, közbeavatkozás often signifies the act of one state interfering in the internal affairs of another. This can range from diplomatic pressure and economic sanctions to direct military involvement. The legality and legitimacy of such interventions are frequently debated, with international law generally discouraging interference in the domestic matters of sovereign states, although exceptions exist, such as for humanitarian reasons or under UN Security Council resolutions.

In everyday language, közbeavatkozás can describe someone intervening in a dispute between others, a parent stepping in to guide their child's actions, or even a mechanic interfering with the normal operation of a machine to fix it. The term carries a connotation of introducing an external element to change the course of events, which can be perceived as either helpful or unwelcome depending on the circumstances and the perspective of those involved. The act of közbeavatkozás implies a disruption of the status quo, with the intention of achieving a particular outcome.
