Arbitration



An arbitration is the settlement of a dispute by person or group of people chosen to hear both sides and come to a decision. One time it was used was in 1985 when Richard Olney, Cleveland's Secretary of State, demanded that the British honor the Monroe Doctrine and have the issue solved by an arbitration.
