They can only publish their results, though, they can't force people to accept them.
Any other institution, anywhere else in the world, is free to publish results which disagree.
Scientists should then have the necessary tools to figure out which one is likely to be correct, and try an independent third or fourth time.
It would be expected that sometimes there would be a failure to replicate which was a mistake in how it was replicated, that shouldn't be seen as being a failure of the goal of replication, and the original authors should be incentivized to reach out and discuss the issues with the methods.
