Description
Amid the stalemate in Syria’s political situation, speakers urged the Security Council today to maintain their focus on that country, emphasizing that the consequences of neglecting the 14-year conflict could be severe for both the country and the region.
On 15 July, the Government of Syria organized parliamentary elections in line with the current constitutional and legislative arrangements, he noted. However, “such elections are not a substitute for the political process” established by Security Council resolution 2254 (2015), which envisages the holding of credible and inclusive elections pursuant to a new Constitution and administered under UN supervision.
