The λΠ-calculus modulo theory is a logical framework in which many logical systems can be expressed as theories. We present such a theory, the theory {U}, where proofs of several logical systems can be expressed. Moreover, we identify a sub-theory of {U} corresponding to each of these systems, and prove that, when a proof in {U} uses only symbols of a sub-theory, then it is a proof in that sub-theory.
