UN Syria envoy urges Russia and US to play what could be a 'key role' in ending protracted Syrian war
The UN special envoy for Syria has called for talks between Russia and the United States to help end the more than nine-year-old war, saying the two major powers could play “a key role.”
He said members of a committee from the Syrian regime, opposition and civil society who are supposed to draft a new constitution for the country and the 15 council nations are key players as well. With some calm at the moment and the world facing common threats from the Covid-19 pandemic and Daesh terrorists, Pedersen stressed that building trust between key international parties and with Syrians “is essential — and could unlock progress” toward peace.
She urged the council to ensure that the Syrian regime reverse “its destructive pattern of behaviour against its own people” and agree to a cease-fire instead of pursuing a military solution to the conflict.
