Well......the concept's fine..solidarity.. very positive but how to keep the flow....in a speech at a conference. Solidary?? ok - it's a word but...supportive??? Can a continent be supportive?? social/socially responsible or someother wordplay on the social theme...it's got me thinking...

undivided
other synonyms are already taken: cohesive, united ... so I'm offering this as an option

: Personally I would leave it out - as you say, they're all synonyms, and just because there are three words in Spanish doesn't mean there should be three in English. But if not, there are lots of words you could use.

with a sense of responsibility towards its members
your term brings to mind the attitude of the economically powerful EU members such as Germany towards Greece, which as you know has recently been in a terrible economic plight, striving to keep itself together in the face of huge public debt. These stronger states have indicated their willingness to back support measures for Greece, simply as a gesture of solidarity from one member to another, rather than shunning the country as too "weak".
