Binational solution

Okay kiddo, so a binational solution means finding a way for two different countries to peacefully settle a problem or issue they have between them.

You know how sometimes you and your friends might disagree on something, like whose turn it is to use the swing? But instead of fighting or getting upset, you talk about it and come up with a solution that works for both of you.

Well, binational solution is kind of like that, but with whole countries instead of just two friends. Sometimes countries might have disagreements about things like borders, resources or trade, but instead of going to war, they try to figure out a solution that's fair to both sides. It's like finding a way to share the swing so both of you can have fun.

It can take a lot of talking and negotiating to come up with a binational solution, but it's important because it helps to keep the peace between countries and prevents unnecessary conflict.
