The UN needs to take a much more pro-active role in attempting to stem the conflict in Syria and to prevent armed forces from abusing the rights of victims of the fighting. In addition, The UN should provide Syria the basic outline for a constitution that will facilitate lasting peace and development. This should include the universal values of freedom, democracy, human rights and rule of law, and organization and elements such as the four branches. The document should allow Syria to prosper under conditions of lasting peace. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development. §1.9 §1.10 §5.1 §6.1 §6.10
