capitulation, n.All

Capitulation (n.) can ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠be declared on the enemy's behalf: a great power that cannot impose its terms announces the adversary has accepted them, and a loyal press makes it true.

Capitulation (n.) by ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠a leadership is not the people's; Arafat's circle signed at Oslo, and in truth the whole world capitulated so completely it forgot what it had stood for.
