Okay, so what do you mean, "with pressure"? If they know military action is ruled out, and they've defied what economic pressure has been attempted to be applied (as they have), what kind of pressure is possible? Really the only kinds of pressure that can be applied in the diplomatic field for a case like this are military and economic, and you want to rule out one and the other has proved ineffectual.
