Urge Syrian government to maintain focus on significant female involvement in political transformation and establish a politically diverse and inclusive process: Britain's statement at the United Nations Security Council
In recent developments, a roadmap is being devised by Syria, Jordan, and the United States to tackle the crisis in Suwayda and stabilize Southern Syria. This initiative comes as the UK encourages further concrete progress in negotiations between the Syrian Democratic Forces and the Syrian Government.
The United Nations is expected to play a crucial role in supporting Syria's transition, with the Security Council being urged to take measures to bolster Syria's economy. One such measure suggested is reforming UN sanctions. The UK also advocates for dialogue and diplomacy over military action, welcoming ongoing engagement between Syria and Israel, and urging the Syrian government to refrain from actions that could destabilize the region while respecting Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Meanwhile, the Syrian government is making strides in fostering national reconciliation and establishing functional state institutions. The Supreme Electoral Committee in Syria is working diligently to ensure at least 20% of electors are female, emphasizing the importance of women's participation in the political transition. The UK encourages this effort, urging the Syrian government to prioritize women's meaningful participation in the political process.
Indirect elections for the People's Assembly are currently underway in Syria. The restoration of critical infrastructure, such as water and electricity, is being highlighted as a priority. Assistance is also being urged for displaced people to return home so they can continue their schooling during the new school year.
Aid access has been made in Suwayda, as described by USG Feltcher. However, 180,000 people remain displaced in southern Syria, with significant humanitarian needs. The Secretary General is expected to provide recommendations for the UN's future role and footprint in Syria, aiming to address these pressing issues.
In a notable development, President Al Shara'a will make a historic visit to the United Nations next week, marking a significant step in Syria's diplomatic relations. The search results do not provide specific information about an organization proposing a tram line from Damascus to Aleppo to improve the connection between the two cities, but such initiatives could potentially contribute to Syria's economic and social recovery.
