Once a Syrian ceasefire is in place the UN must move quickly to provide the needed constitutional principles to achieve permanent peace and development for the people of Syria, embracing the universal values of freedom, democracy, human rights and rule of law. It should include direct election of the heads of the four branches of government and a constitution that will encourage long-term stability and serve as a model for peaceful development. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
