   • 1973, Robert Bartley Taylor, Introduction to cultural anthropology‎^[1], page 284:

     A kindred can be either omnilateral, including all of one's relatives, or restricted, which excludes some relatives by one or more criteria. Any person's omnilateral kindred includes his parents, both sets of grandparents, and so on bilaterally back through the generations. It also includes his children, his grandchildren, and so on. In addition, it includes his parents' siblings, his cousins, and their children.

   • 2010, Arthur Ripstein, Force and Freedom‎^[2], →ISBN, page 196:

     Powers exercised within a rightful condition provide the omnilateral will required to repair each of the three defects in a state of nature. Public acts are omnilateral because they are not any particular person's unilateral choice, but instead are exercised on behalf of the citizens considered as a collective body. They are also omnilateral in a further sense: a unilateral will always has some particular end, some matter of choice.

   • 2013, Adam Watson, Diplomacy: The Dialogue Between States‎^[3], →ISBN, page 111:

     Diplomacy as we know it today is essentially a function of the modern state: its relations with other states, with the institutionalized alliances and groupings which it or other states may form, and with omnilateral or general organizations like the United Nations.
