A new political group has published a vision for a political solution to the Syrian crisis. The group, The Syrian National Initiative, says in their vision that the High Negotiation Commission (HNC) and the Syrian National Coalition have: “turned into puppets that have limited communication with society, and their public representation has clearly diminished.”
Since the Geneva Communiqué was issued, the group added, the ruling authorities in Syria have sought: “to empty the political process of its basic content of making a fundamental change in the structures of the tyrannical power and corrupted political system.”
These changes includes: “the reform of the military and security branches, determining their functions and missions of serving the homeland and the citizen, as well as the constitutional guarantee of the independence of the judiciary, the legislature, the electoral body and an independent national body of truth, justice and accountability.”
The Syrian National Initiative is promising to communicate and coordinate with all the independent Syrian parties, to whom they owe their decision and will, and believe in Syria as a modern civil democratic state. This includes the civil society, in the broadest sense of social, religious and civic leadership, as well as political and military components.
The group is calling for a national conference based on a set of points, including:
– Protecting the unity and territorial integrity of the Syrian territories is unnegotiable question.
– Stopping the course of war, arming, destruction, fragmentation, subordination and all forms of guardianship on the country.
– The need for the state and society to start the reconstruction as a practical way that will allow for the return of the refugees and IDPs.
– Reform the Syrian national army as an army to serve and protect the homeland and the citizen away from partisan, ideology, and sectarianism.
– Restructuring the intelligence services and internal security forces on a professional basis that complies with human rights standards and works to preserve the security of the homeland and the citizen, and integrating the function and role of the new security services in the constitution.
– Release all political detainees throughout the Syrian territory, investigate the fate of missing persons, and document the crimes of torture and murder in detention and interrogation centers.
– The criminalization of hatred sectarian, chauvinist speech and terrorism.
The Initiative is suggesting a new social contract between all Syrians, which will consider that: “the Syrian people have equal citizenship, with equal rights and duties, with no distinction given to color, sex, language or sect. This citizenship is based on a comprehensive national consensus where religion belongs to God and the homeland to all citizens. No one can arrogate himself the right to impose a belief or to choose his ideology and his practice freely.”
Among the other principles of the new social contract is the: “protection of the human being, its dignity. And the security of these protections require the criminalization of sectarianism, terrorism, and violence and the integration of the principle of equality between men and women into the national constitution, in which the constitution guarantees the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women and stresses the need to create a legislative and legal environment that ensures women’s political, economic and social empowerment and participation in accordance with all relevant international instruments.
Among the 250 signatories are politicians, intellectuals, civil society activists, clerics and army officers. Some renowned signatories are: Aref Dalila, Maj. Gen. Mohammad Al-Haj Ali, Haytham Manna, Mumtaz Al-Sheikh, and Laila Batal.
Below is the full text of the vision as published by the new group.
March 3rd, 2019
We are approaching the eighth anniversary of the peaceful popular movement that began in March 2011 in tragic and difficult circumstances; one-third of the Syrians are scattered between asylum and forced displacement, and one-third of the country’s territories are subject to a rival interest. While the ruling authority refers to the alleged-victory of the axis of “resistance” on the ruins of the houses of refugees and IDPs, and we witness the slow death of a society that formed the shining light of the Renaissance and the progress of the Arab world and Levant, and gave the best knowledge to the region and the world, we are sadly watching the fateful decisions of this people turn into nothing more than a guardianship between the components of “Astana” (Russia, Iran, and Turkey) and the remnants of the Western Turkish Gulf axis – what is known as the Small group on Syria. The countries engaged in the Syrian affairs have succeeded in controlling the Syrian people’s decision, regardless of their positions. Each of these countries seeks to achieve gains in the field to ensure continuity of its influence on decisions to be made, whether in Damascus or in other areas of control.
When the people took to the streets, they called for dignity and freedom, emphasizing their peaceful nature until they reached millions of protestors in some cities. Instead of meeting the demands of the people, the Syrian authorities chose a military-security approach to deal with the civilians pushing the Syrian army into a confrontation with the society, which led to the escalation of violence. The authorities released hundreds of jihadists from Sednaya prison in May 2011 while detaining thousands of peaceful demonstrators. Due to the oppression of the Syrian regime, the peaceful voices were lost, to be replaced by militarization and extremism, which open the door for external agendas to manipulate and control the fate of Syria.
We had no doubt that warlords live on so-called military victory, which is just a myth. So we tried, from our different positions, to emphasize on the political solution as the only way out of this catastrophe, and also to reaffirm that the cohesion of the Syrian society is by the hands of only the Syrians.
Although on 30 June 2012 the international community agreed on the “Geneva Communiqué”, two days before the Cairo Conference of the Syrian opposition, there was an undeclared consensus among the international and local parties to the conflict in order to not place the Geneva outputs on the table. Therefore, we should have waited for the first international and regional consensus between the axes of the conflict, Vienna Conference 2015, where the political negotiations have been agreed upon on a new basis, as referred to in UNSCR 2254. However, the international and regional parties to the conflict were those appointed the negotiators and were those replaced so-called “Riyadh 1” negotiators by “Riyadh 2” ones. In both conferences, the most important and independent political forces and figures were marginalized and vetoed from participation.
The High Negotiation Committee (HNC) and the Syrian coalition have turned into puppets that have limited communication with the society, where their public representation has clearly diminished. On one hand, they represent only a limited group of Syrians, where their most important cadres have been distanced or fired. On the other hand, they are the weakest party in any political negotiations due to the lack of practice and the absence of a clear political agenda. Perhaps the scandal of the “Constitutional Committee” reveals the disappearance and infertility of these structures. These parties, which boycotted and fought, for example, the Sochi National Dialogue Conference, have adapted its output as their only program in 2018 begging for being part of the potential constitutional committee.
Syria has become a scene of warlords and terrorists whose interests are to exploit its resources at the expense of the Syrian people, while the latter became divided between dead, handicapped, detained, homeless and refugees.
Since Geneva Communiqué was issued, the ruling authorities in Syria have publicly refused to speak about the most important executive provisions, which set the principles and guidelines for a Syrian-led transition. It seeks by all means to empty the political process of its basic content of making a fundamental change in the structures of the tyrannical power and corrupted political system. This change includes the reform of the military and security branches determining its functions and missions in the light of serving the homeland and the citizen as well as the constitutional guarantee of the independency of the judiciary, the legislature, the electoral body and an independent national body of truth, justice and accountability.
Today, the authority is trying to deal with the Syrian tragedy with the same mindset, as if the revolution and the sacrifices have not happened. This authority is not only dead in the hearts and minds of the people but also no longer convincing its supporters. Similar to the “opposition that is being dealt with regionally and internationally”, the authority does nothing but to wait for the decisions of different international or regional summits. So, how could this situation lead to the salvation and a promising future?
In an attempt to confront with this tragic situation, a large number of national politicians and military personnel have been involved in a joint effort, the Syrian National Initiative that takes into account the political, social, and economic demands of the Syrian people all over the country as the basis of any intra-Syrian dialogue.
Starting points for a political solution
The transition to a comprehensive national charter, from a proposed founding paper for the future of Syria to a starting point of a political solution, cannot be achieved without mobilizing as many Syrians as possible inside and outside the country. It, also, cannot be achieved without an intra-Syrian dialogue that affects all those who believe that the sustainability of the current means of governance, administration, negotiation, and dialogue cannot be a salvation for the homeland and liberation of the citizen.
Therefore, the national initiative will communicate and coordinate with all the independent Syrian parties, who owe their decision and will, and believe in Syria as a modern civil democratic state. This includes the civil society largo senso, in the broadest sense of social, religious and civic leadership, as well as political and military components.
It is necessary to bring together as many patriotic Syrians as possible, without marginalizing or excluding of anyone, on a practical essential basis in a national conference based on the following points:
– Protecting the unity and territorial integrity of the Syrian territories is unnegotiable question.
– Stopping the course of war, arming, destruction, fragmentation, subordination and all forms of guardianship on the country.
– The need for the state and society to start the reconstruction as a practical way that will allow for the return of the refugees and IDPs.
– Reform the Syrian national army as an army to serve and protect the homeland and the citizen away from partisan, ideology, and sectarianism.
– Restructuring the intelligence services and internal security forces on a professional basis that complies with human rights standards and works to preserve the security of the homeland and the citizen, and integrating the function and role of the new security services in the constitution.
– Release all political detainees throughout the Syrian territory, investigate the fate of missing persons, and document the crimes of torture and murder in detention and interrogation centers.
– The criminalization of hatred sectarian, chauvinist speech and terrorism.
– Scheduling the exit of all non-Syrian fighters and foreign militias from the Syrian territories, regardless of which country they came from and to which party they joined.
– Peace, freedom, dignity and national sovereignty are not achievable without establishing a state of citizenship for all Syrians away from distinction or exclusion.
– Cancellation of all special procedures of naturalizing non-Syrians after 2011.
– The Syrian Constitution is the unified social contract of the Syrians. Therefore, the task of any constitutional committee, to be agreed upon, is to establish the constitutional commitment to the principles of human rights, equality of citizenship, the protection of the Syrian State and its institutions, and the separation of the legislative, executive and judicial powers, as well as the principle of pluralistic peaceful devolution of power and administrative decentralization.
– Review the special procedures and laws issued from 2011 until today.
– The Syrian State is committed to return all dissidents, demobilized of the Syrian army, unless they have been sentenced to a criminal or moral penalty, to the ranks of the armed forces, while retaining the staff, ranks, allowances and promotions provided for in the relevant laws. It applies to civil servants as well.
– Establishing of transitional justice body in order to hold accountable all who has committed crimes against the Syrian human beings.
– The State undertakes to give back all confiscated, stolen, or illegally abused properties to its rightful owners as well as considering the decree no. 10 null and void.
– The Syrian State is committed to the safe return of all Syrian refugees and IDPs.
– The intra-Syrian dialogue is the best way to achieve this program, away from any guardianship, with clear guarantees from the United Nations and within the framework of its related resolutions.
Charter of the Homeland and Citizen
Since the Arab League Conference of Syrian Opposition 2012 and subsequent conferences and meetings, the most important political and civil movements in Syria have agreed on a set of constitutive rules for a sovereign constitutional state. These fundamental principles are proposed to all Syrians, as the basis of the new social contract between all Syrians. We propose to all national and societal forces these principles as a draft for a national comprehensive charter concerning the future of Syria. A future of dignity for all Syrians.
• The Syrian people are united on equal citizenship in rights and duties, without distinction because of color, sex, language or sect. This citizenship is based on a comprehensive national consensus where religion belongs to God and the homeland to all citizens. No one can arrogate himself the right to impose a belief or to choose his ideology and his practice freely.
• The human being is the ultimate goal of the relationship among the Syrians, whose foundation is based on respect for international conventions, namely the economic, social, political, civil, cultural and environmental rights, which all have been enshrined by humanity, as well as the guarantee of the practicing of these rights for all citizens and residents alike.
• The Syrian people are free and sovereign on their land who’s both elements, the territory and State, are indivisible, and there is no right to abandon an inch of it, especially the occupied Golan Heights. The Syrian people recognize their right to struggle for the restoration of their occupied territories by all the legitimate means to resist occupation.

The state guarantees public freedoms, including the right to access information and media, the right to establish non-governmental organizations (NGOs), unions, political parties, as well as freedom of beliefs and the right of religious practice, the freedom to demonstrate, the right to strike and the sit-ins peacefully. All these rights should be guarded by laws and rules for not being betrayed by the financial powers or the political authority. The Syrian State guarantees the respect for the social diversity which includes of beliefs, interests and the characteristics of all sectors of the Syrian people. It also recognizes the cultural and political rights of all its components in addition to their aspiration to development and welfare.

• The Syrian State, along with its Constitution and laws, emphasizes its respect to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and it should express its clear commitment to children’s right to life, natural development and the respect for an opinion. The necessary standards and policies should be implemented for health, psychological, educational and social, civil and legal services for children.
• Emphasizes the respect to the rights of wounded and disabled persons, and provide them with health and social security, as well as full participation in work and in public activities in addition to the social and cultural communication.

An order based on equilibrated relationship, common interests and collective responsibility to face the challenges and dangers that threaten the world peace and security.
• The people are the source of legitimacy, and justice is the primary govern for the relationship among citizens. Syrian sovereignty is recognized by achieving the link between the homeland and the citizen through both the democratic governance and the civil state. A State governed by both institutions and law where its constitution regulates its social contract. A State where it is banned neither the monopoly of power nor its inheritance in any form.
• The authority is based on periodic elections and complete separation between the executive, legislative and judicial authorities, on the principle of deliberating power via secret and free elections, with respect for the results of elections organized by an independent body whose outcomes are decided by the ballot box.
• The new constitution should establish the foundations of a civil democratic regime; a modern and fair electoral system that guarantees the participation of all intellectual and political currents, within a framework of both, the most comprehensive representation of the people and the stability of the parliamentary system. This system will ensure strict control over the financial resources and expenditure of political parties and associations.
• The Syrian army is the national institution that is responsible for protecting the country and maintains its independence and sovereignty on its territory. It is also keen on national security and does not interfere in political activities.

Its policy should be based on social justice, sustainable balanced development, protection of vulnerable groups, redistribution of income and wealth through the tax system taking in considerations the diversity of social classes as well as the regions.

The state has to end all manifestations of ignorance and illiteracy.
