The authors prove the following theorem: Let \(M\) be a Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature \(\geq \kappa\). Then any convex hypersurface \(F\) in \(M\) equipped with the induced intrinsic metric is an Alexandrov space with curvature \(\geq \kappa\). This is a global version of an earlier theorem by \textit{S. V. Buyalo} [J. Sov. Math. 12, 73--85 (1979; Zbl 0405.53041)] showing that such \(F\) is locally an Alexandrov space.
