How to Say "enforcement" in Spanish

Use 'imposición' when referring to the act of compelling or enforcing obedience to a rule, law, or demand, often implying a lack of choice for the person subjected to it.

Use 'ejecutivo' as an adjective when describing something that pertains to the carrying out or implementation of decisions, orders, or plans, especially by an authority.

Learners often confuse these by translating 'enforcement' directly without considering if they mean the act of making someone obey ('imposición') or the act of carrying something out ('ejecutivo'). Remember 'ejecutivo' is usually an adjective describing the enforcement action, while 'imposición' is the noun for the act of enforcing itself.
