Syria’s transitional President Ahmad Al-Sharaa has ordered a committee to draft a constitutional declaration. This committee will create a document to govern the transitional phase in Syria, following a recent National Dialogue Conference that proposed several recommendations emphasizing national unity and a legislative council. The effectiveness of these moves in shaping future governance, however, remains unclear.
On Sunday, Syrian transitional President Ahmad Al-Sharaa issued a decree directing a committee to draft a constitutional declaration, as reported by the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA). This document, consisting of three articles, appoints seven experts tasked with creating a proposal to be submitted to Al-Sharaa.
According to Article 2 of the decree, the committee’s responsibility is to draft the constitutional declaration that will govern the transitional phase in the Syrian Arab Republic. This initiative follows the recent National Dialogue Conference held on February 25, which concluded with 18 non-binding recommendations focused on national unity, state military control, a constitutional framework, and a legislative council. However, the actual impact of these recommendations remains uncertain.
The recent order from President Ahmad Al-Sharaa to establish a committee for drafting a constitutional declaration marks a significant step in Syria’s ongoing transition. Despite the conclusion of the National Dialogue Conference with various recommendations, the effectiveness of these measures in shaping Syria’s future governance structure is yet to be determined. The actions taken now could play a crucial role in the establishment of a stable political framework moving forward.
