multilaterálních

Multilaterální is an adjective used in Czech to describe arrangements, institutions, or approaches that involve three or more parties, typically states or international organizations. It contrasts with bilateral (bilaterální) agreements and unilateral actions. The term adapts to grammatical gender, and its genitive plural form is multilaterálních, as in multilaterálních dohod.

In international relations, multilateralism refers to diplomacy and cooperation conducted through multiple actors and often within international organizations or formal treaties. Multilateral regimes seek common rules, norms, and mechanisms for coordination on security, trade, and environment. Decisions are usually reached by consensus or majority voting, with commitments often requiring ratification by participating states.

Examples include the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, and multilateral environmental agreements such as the Paris Agreement. Regional frameworks like the European Union also embody multilateral principles, though they combine intergovernmental and supranational elements.

Advantages include broader legitimacy, shared standards, and resource pooling; challenges include slow decision-making, power disparities among members, and difficulties with enforcement or compliance.

In Czech grammar, multilaterální is the base form; multilaterálních is its genitive plural used with nouns in genitive such as multilaterálních dohod.
