reciprocal means something present in a relationship between two parts, when existing on one side, exists equally on the other. In other words, it's something mutual.
For example, the expression "reciprocal hatred" means that "hate" is the feeling shared by both parties, which can be two people or two groups.
If a person says: “I greatly appreciate our friendship” and hears the answer “the reciprocal is true”, it means that the latter has the same feeling. In the case of the expression "mutual love", the reciprocal indicates that love is reciprocated.
One reciprocal agreement has the same meaning as bilateral, that is, it is a common agreement between the two parties involved. In this case, reciprocal is synonymous with mutual and involves the same obligations for the two parties that make up the agreement.
Some synonyms of reciprocal are: mutual, correspondent, bilateral, matched, mutual and reciprocated.

principle of reciprocity
The principle of reciprocity allows the same rules of law to be applied in different places, through the signing of International Treaties or Agreements between countries.
This principle is widely applied in the area of International Law, as it is fundamental to ensure good coexistence and cooperation between different Nations, facilitating understanding and assistance between countries.
The principle of reciprocity, for example, can determine equal treatment between citizens of different nationalities, equality of rights, simplification of processes, aiming at an easy integration of citizens (migrants) of a country in the other.
For example: when several countries sign an International Treaty on a certain subject, these Nations must comply with the same measures determined in the Treaty.
