Summary
A United Nations representative told the Security Council the UN supports a Syrian-led, credible and inclusive political transition in line with Security Council Resolution 2254 and said easing sanctions and designations will likely be necessary to meet urgent economic needs.
A United Nations representative told the Security Council that the UN is committed to supporting a Syrian-led process that ensures a credible and inclusive political transition in line with Security Council Resolution 2254. The speaker said there is “a possibility of promise for the people of Syria” following the fall of the previous regime and years of bloodshed but warned that “we cannot let the flame of hope turn into an inferno of chaos.”
The representative urged member states and the international community to support steps that would enable an inclusive political transition, saying significant work on sanctions and designations will likely be necessary given Syria’s urgent economic needs. The speaker framed an inclusive political transition as the most effective means to ensure Syria receives more support and to pave the way toward a united, sovereign Syria with territorial integrity fully reestablished.
The UN said it would work with Syrians and international partners to advance a Syrian-led process and welcomed member states’ expressions of solidarity, while emphasizing that more significant work remains to address economic and political challenges.
