picture info	Ultimatum An ultimatum (Latin: the last one) is a demand whose fulfillment is requested in a specified period of time and which is backed up by a threat to be followed through in case of noncompliance.

The threat which backs up the ultimatum can vary depending on the demand in question and on the other circumstances.[citation needed] The word is used in diplomacy to signify the final terms submitted by one of the parties in negotiation for settlement of any subject of disagreement.

picture info	Negotiation Negotiation Negotiation comes from the Latin neg (no) and otsia (leisure) referring to businessmen who, unlike the patricians, had no leisure time in their industriousness; it held the meaning of business (le négoce in French) until the 17th century when it took on the diplomatic connotation as a dialogue between two or more people or parties intended to reach a beneficial outcome over one or more issues where a conflict exists with respect to at least one of these issues.[1][2] Thus, negotiation is a process of combining divergent positions into a joint agreement under a decision rule of unanimity.
