To this end, we call on the United Nations and the Office of the Special Envoy for Syria to convene a commission as soon as possible. a credible and inclusive Constitutional Constitution that will initiate the drafting of a new Syrian Constitution and lay the groundwork for free and fair elections under United Nations supervision and in a climate of security and neutrality, to which all Syrians registered, including those in the diaspora, will have the right to participate.
