warrants

Explanation:
You'd probably want to recast this as something like "...warranted by the external circumstance," but I think "warrant" captures what is meant here.

require

Explanation:
According to Norstedts, the collocation with omständigheter would mean that påkallar means requires.

The example is:
"ifall omständigheterna så påkallar" with the translation "if required" or "if circumstances require".

You could also translate it as demand I suppose.

I hope this is of some help.

call on/upon

Explanation:
As Richard says, you can probably translate it as 'require' or 'demand', but if you want a more literal or etymologically close translation I would also like to mention 'call upon', with the same meaning. 'Påkalla' belongs to a very formal register in Swedish. As I understand it so does 'call upon' in English.

Merriam-Webster:

— call upon
1
: require, oblige <may be called upon to do several jobs>
2
: to make a demand on : depend on <universities are called upon to produce trained professionals>
