English term or phrase: all true or not all true
Déclaration sur l'honneur dans le but d'obtenir un statut de réfugié dans un pays.

Phrase complète :

"I swear (affirm) that I know the contents of this application that I am signing, including the attached documents and supplements, that they are all true or not all true to the best of my knowledge... "

L'expression "that they are all true or not all true to the best of my knowledge" pose problème.

Merci.

informations avérées et correctes au meilleur de ma connaissance


Explanation:
The idea is that what is declared is true or, if that is not the case, it was not a lie but it was due to a lack of knowledge.

neutral  FX Fraipont (X): if one has to choose (and tick) one of two tick boxes, they can't mean the same. And "to the best of my knowledge" applies to "true" as well as "not true", whatever is chosen...

disagree  Germaine: The idea is that the contents are, to the signatory best knowledge, either totally true or not totally true in which case corrections were done so that contents correspond to the best of the signatory's knowledge + see discussion for "meilleur de..."
