UN Security Council Adopts Presidential Statement on Syria

The UN Security Council Monday adopted a presidential statement on Syria which included the formation of four working groups on “safety, protection, fighting terrorism, political and legal issues and the reconstruction.”

The statement called for, “launching a Syrian-led political process towards a transitional political process that meets the legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people.”

The statement indicated the transitional process includes the establishment of a transitional governing body, with full executive powers as part of the agreed principles and guidelines for a Syrian-led political transition.

Security Council presidential statements are adopted in official sessions and issued as official documents, but are not binding.
