Unus pro omnibus, omnes pro uno
Unus pro omnibus, omnes pro uno ( French Un pour tous, tous pour un , Italian Uno per tutti, tutti per uno , Romansh In per tuts, tuts per in ) is a Latin phrase that ends in German with one for all, all for one is translated. It comes from the novel The Three Musketeers by the French writer Alexandre Dumas the Elder , who published chapter by chapter in the newspaper Le Siècle in 1844 and became the (unofficial) motto of the Swiss Confederation in the 19th century .
Traditional Swiss motto
Although Switzerland does not have an official motto or a national motto in its constitution or laws, the traditional motto One for All, All for One is a historical short formula for the purpose of the federal alliance policy, as it was recorded in numerous federal letters and those in the founding of the state culminated.
The motto became popular in the 19th century after autumn storms in 1868 led to major floods in the central Swiss Alps , particularly in the canton of Ticino . The Federal Council then issued an appeal for donations to the Swiss people. The press took part in the appeal for donations and used this motto, which also appeared on an appeal from western Switzerland . In the 19th century, the collections of money for natural disasters became identity-creating events for Switzerland as a will- to-be nation and encouraged Swiss solidarity.
Fundamental rights principle in North Korea
