In order to carry into effect its task the organization will do the following things: (1) Following the character of its raison d'être [reason for existing] it will exercise its influence over all the official factors in Serbia... (2) It will carry out a revolutionary organisation in all the territories where Serbians are living: (3) Beyond the frontiers, it will fight with all means against all enemies of this idea: (4) It will maintain friendly relations with all the States, nations, organisations, and individual persons who sympathise with Serbia and the Serbian race: (5) It will give every assistance to those nations and organisations who are fighting for their own national liberation and unification. Article 34. The Organisation's official seal is thus composed: In the centre of the seal there is a powerful arm holding in its hand an unfurled flag on which - as a coat of arms - there is a skull with crossed bones; by the side of the flag, a knife, a bomb and a phial [vial] of poison. Around, in a circle, there is the following inscription, reading from left to right: "Unification or Death", and in the base: "The Supreme Central Directorate". Article 35. On entering into the organisation the joining member must pronounce the following oath of allegiance: "I (the Christian name and surname of the joining member), by entering into the organisation "Unification or Death", do hereby swear by the Sun which shineth upon me, by the Earth which feedeth me, by God, by the blood of my forefathers, by my honour and by my life, that from this moment onward and until my death, I shall faithfully serve the task of this organisation and that I shall at all times be prepared to bear for it any sacrifice. I further swear by God, by my honour and by my life, that I shall unconditionally carry into effect all its orders and commands. I further swear by my God, by my honour and by my life, that I shall keep within myself all the secrets of this organisation and carry them with me into my grave. May God and my comrades in this organisation be my judges if at any time I should wittingly fail or break this oath!" Done at Belgrade this 9th day of May, 1911 A.D.
