The UN has called for an inclusive political transition in Syria, stressing that progress in this area is critical for securing the economic aid needed to rebuild the war-torn country. UN special envoy Geir Pedersen emphasized that inclusive political transition in Syria is crucial.
United Nations special envoy Geir Pedersen emphasized that progress toward an inclusive political transition in Syria is crucial for obtaining the economic support the country urgently needs. Speaking to the Security Council, he noted that reconstruction efforts and sanctions relief are essential.
Pedersen and U.N. aid chief Tom Fletcher briefed the council from Damascus, following the ousting of President Bashar al-Assad by insurgent forces led by the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). Syria’s economic challenges are compounded by sanctions imposed on HTS, formerly affiliated with al Qaeda.
Fletcher urged countries to ensure sanctions and counter-terrorism measures do not hinder humanitarian aid, as over 70% of Syria’s population (17 million people) requires assistance. Diplomats see lifting sanctions as a potential tool to ensure Syria's new leadership meets its commitments while trying to avoid challenges like those faced in Afghanistan after the Taliban's takeover.
