Chairman of the negotiating body: An effective mechanism should be found to implement UN Resolution 2254

The head of the negotiating committee, Anas Al-Abdah, said yesterday, Tuesday, “An effective mechanism should be found to work on implementing UN Resolution 2254 without excluding any clause from it, and this requires concerted regional and international efforts to support the political process in Syria.”

This came during a meeting between Anas Al-Abdah and the special envoy to Syria, Geir Pedersen, in Istanbul, Turkey, to discuss developments in the Syrian file.

During the meeting, Al-Abdah reviewed the contents of the message that the negotiating committee sent to the Security Council, indicating that “it is capable of activating the political track, and activating the path of the Syrian Constitutional Committee in a greater way.”

He explained: “The correct methodology is to avoid wasting time and adhering to the mission and mandate of the committee according to the procedural rules document,” he said.

Al-Abdah considered that working on an item and postponing the remaining important items is a waste of the Syrians and the international community’s time.

While stressing the need to achieve real and effective progress in the file of detainees who are languishing in the prisons of the Assad regime, and suffering from injustice and torture.

Al-Abdah called for international pressure on the Assad regime and its supporters to release the detainees and reveal the fate of the forcibly disappeared, explaining that “the waste of time is paid by the detainees, their families, and the Syrian people as a whole.”

For his part, the UN Special Envoy to Syria supported the need to find an effective mechanism and methodology to push the political track, and Resolution 2254 without any of its provisions being overridden.

Al-Abdah concluded, saying, “This touches our demands from the beginning, because the solution in Syria is not divided nor divided. The UN resolution is clear and there is a need to push its full implementation as soon as possible.”
