Hurriyet Daily News - Syrian opposition activists, including National Coalition members, have drawn up a road map to achieve national reconciliation and justice for “all of Syria’s victims,” a statement said yesterday.
The road map is to be presented in full in Istanbul today, in the presence of National Coalition chief Ahmed Jarba, but has not been officially endorsed by the key opposition group. “National reconciliation will be achieved through a long transitional justice process in which justice is assured for all of Syria’s victims,” said the statement outlining the road map.
The proposal also calls for disarming and restructuring Syrian security forces to uproot “corrupt officials.”
“All armed groups will be disarmed, demobilized and reintegrated into Syrian society.” The road map also lays out plans for the country’s political system after the fall of the Syrian regime, calling for a “hybrid presidential/parliamentary system.” It proposes using the country’s 1950 constitution as the basis for a new charter, with an elected constitutional assembly mandated to decide on modifications.
Peace conference likely in October
Syria’s constitution privileges the legislature over the executive and states that the head of state must be a Muslim. The group behind the proposal, Syrian Expert House, includes some 300 activists, lawyers and members of the opposition National Coalition and Syrian National Council. Defected government officials and rebel commanders also participated in the drafting process, the group said.
