A deal to set up a ceasefire zone in Syria along with other political developments could help boost a new round of talks aimed at ending more than six years of conflict in the country
After a ceasefire takes hold in Syria the UN should provide the basics for a constitution that will foster peaceful development of the nation. It should include an organizational structure which incorporates the universal values of freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law, with four main branches (legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial). The result should be a constitution suitable for lasting peace and prosperity that will serve as a model for other nations in the future. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
