Syria National dialogueA major moment in the country’s political transition yet The fall of President Bashar al -Assad In December, it ended on Tuesday.

A statement delivered at the end of the conference for one day, which was announced only on Sunday and did not give many potential participants a little time to prepare for it, paved the way for drafting a new constitution and emphasizing the importance of freedom of expression and human rights.

Among the attendees, Syrian President Ahmed Al -Sharra, who earlier called on the Syrians to “stand united and his hand to treat wounds and wash pain after decades of dictatorship.”

Here are three main meals from the conference:

What will be the new Syria constitution?

The nature of the Syria revolution-the complete rejection of the rule that lasted for decades from the Assad family and the Baath party-means that there was expected to be a new constitution.

The nature of this constitution will reveal a lot about the future of Syria, especially since doubts are still among many intentions of Sharra, in light of its previous affiliation with al -Qaeda.

Al -Sharra was quick to move away from his past and greatly avoid the discourse.

In the dialogue, the delegates were divided among the working groups, each focusing on a different topic, including the constitution, freedoms, economics and civil society.

Hoda Atassi, a member of the preparatory committee for the national dialogue that read the statement at the conclusion of the conference, said that the committee called for a “temporary constitutional declaration” and a “temporary legislative council” to help define the future of the country.

The full statement said that the draft constitution must achieve a “balance between the authorities, the establishment of justice, freedom and equality, and laying the basis for the state of law and institutions.”

However, no other details were provided, and the discussions in the workshop were secret, leaving the issue of how the constitution will still exist, just days before it was announced previously. March 1, the deadline For a new transitional government to take power.

Sovereignty and Israel actions

The closing statement strongly rejected Israel’s actions in Syria since the overthrow of some, describing them as “a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the Syrian state.”

Israel has moved its forces to a buffer zone between Syria and the Golan Heights, and it is in itself the Syrian territories that Israel is illegally occupied. Israel also took control of areas outside the buffer zone, including Hermon Mountain, and has conducted repeated shelling raids on military sites, including attacks overnight on Tuesday.

The national dialogue called for “the immediate and unconditional withdrawal” of the Israeli forces from Syria.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened his country The Syrian military forces will not allow To be present in southern Syria.

The conference also opposed Israel’s attempts to raise sectarian tensions by noting that it is ready to protect the Druze minority community in Syria, many of whom live in the south.

The committee called for the “unity of the Syrian Arab Republic” and “sovereignty over its entire lands, or rejecting any form of retail, division, or giving up any part of the country.”

The new government of Syria was in discussions with the Syrian democratic forces (SDF), a group led by the Kurdish controlling large parts of northeastern Syria.

The US -backed SDF was hesitant to hand over its arms and expressed its desire for some autonomy in its controlled areas, which the Syrian government rejects.

Rights and freedoms

He also called on the closing statement to “support the role of women in all fields” and “reject all forms of discrimination on the basis of race, religion or sect.”

Invitations also refused to ethnic or religious classes in the government-which is what Sharra and other ministers previously referred to.

The place of women in the new government was not yet clear from data from some ministers. For example, Aisha Al -Dua, head of the Women’s Affairs Office in the Syrian government, said in December that women will play a major role but “will not exceed the priorities of their nature that God has endowed” and will know “their educational role in the family.”

Syrian Foreign Minister Assad Al -Shaybani was quick to return to these statements at the time, saying that the new authorities “believe in the active role of women within society.”

The closing statement of the dialogue to protect freedoms, including freedom of opinion and expression, called. This will lead to a profound difference from the previous regime, according to which the Syrians were imprisoned regularly due to their speech.

The issue of other rights referred to in the closing statement was to achieve transitional justice and the responsibility of “those responsible for crimes” responsibility, while “rejecting all forms of violence, incitement and revenge.” Reports have emerged in the last weeks of revenge attacks against the Assad -related persons in their complexes and other parts of the country.

Is the national dialogue collected very quickly?

He surrounded the confusion with the national dialogue before it started, with several invitations to be sent at the last minute.

Opposition politician George Sprra posted on social media that he had received an invitation on February 23, two days before the event, to be present in Damascus. Sprra lives in exile in France and said he could not travel to Syria at the appropriate time.

Critics say that the nature of the announcement of the national dialogue is part of a wider pattern that worries the Syrians who are pushing for democratic pluralism, with few details provided regarding the schedule of elections and how the new Syria will be.

There were doubts about the talks because of what critics described as not representation in the preparatory committee.

But even with the sudden announcement of the history of the national dialogue, nearly 600 Syrians attended the talks, and many believe that it is an important step on the way to the elections and new Syria, free from decades of dictatorship.
