The UN Security Council has condemned all forms of negative interference in Syria\u2019s political, security, and economic transition, warning that such actions undermine efforts to restore stability. It called on all states to refrain from measures that could further escalate tension and unrest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a recently issued presidential statement, the Council stressed the need for a comprehensive Syrian-led political process based on Resolution 2254, ensuring the protection of all citizens\u2019 rights and enabling them to determine their future peacefully, independently, and democratically.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Council reaffirmed the importance of the UN\u2019s role, especially that of the Special Envoy, in facilitating Syria\u2019s political transition, underscoring its commitment to the country\u2019s sovereignty, independence, unity, and territorial integrity. It urged all international actors to respect these principles.<\/span><\/p>\n

The statement comes amid fast-moving political and military developments in Syria, while the political solution remains stalled. The ruling authority continues to adopt a policy of denial and bets on dominance, while international momentum is growing to reactivate Resolution 2254 as the primary reference point for peace.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the statement issued last Sunday, the Council voiced concern over the surge in violence in Suwayda province, urging the protection of civilians and unhindered humanitarian access, as well as holding perpetrators accountable. While the statement is political rather than legally binding, it reaffirms the UN\u2019s central role in supporting a negotiated settlement.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Council also welcomed the Syrian government\u2019s statement condemning recent violence and its pledge to launch transparent investigations in line with international standards. The Ministry of Defense announced the formation of a committee to verify the identities and backgrounds of those involved, stressing that justice and reconciliation are key to lasting peace.<\/span><\/p>\n

The presidential statement also referenced the 1974 disengagement agreement between Syria and Israel, calling on all parties to respect its provisions and avoid escalation in the buffer zone, while reaffirming support for UN peacekeeping forces stationed there. It further addressed ongoing security threats from ISIS and al-Qaeda, warning of the persistent danger posed by foreign fighters and the need for continued global counterterrorism efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Major hurdles to implementation<\/b><\/h2>\n

Implementing Resolution 2254 faces formidable challenges; chief among them the deep divisions among Syrian parties, reluctance by some actors to adopt political solutions, persistent foreign interventions, and the complexity of security and humanitarian crises. The absence of an effective enforcement mechanism and the continuation of violence further obstruct the political transition.<\/span><\/p>\n

A viable solution will require a serious international commitment to ensuring implementation, coupled with regional cooperation to halt external interference. Trust-building among the Syrian through an inclusive dialogue that safeguards the interests of all components is essential.<\/span><\/p>\n

A test for the government<\/b><\/h2>\n

Ismat Mansour, journalist and political analyst, told <\/span>+963<\/b> that \u201cthis resolution puts the Syrian authorities to a real test to prove that Syria, its new system and new era, belongs to all Syrians, providing safety, care, and partnership to everyone regardless of affiliation, sect, or background.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He emphasized, \u201cThis is a genuine test of the government\u2019s commitment. The fact that the matter has reached the Security Council and prompted a presidential statement marks an important moment in Syria\u2019s political trajectory. It could be a turning point toward progress, rather than regression, if managed wisely. However, contradictions, interventions, conflicts, regional conditions, and the dire living situation make the challenges more volatile and combustible.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mansour added that \u201cthe most important aspect of Resolution 2254 is the emphasis on Syria\u2019s sovereignty and territorial unity. This is the core principle now under threat amid the changes Syrians are enduring. Preserving unity is crucial for Syria\u2019s recovery, stability, and progress. Without it, conflicts will deepen, and foreign ambitions will grow.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He identified Israel as \u201cthe most intrusive external actor in Syria, seeking to manipulate internal divisions, impose military occupation over parts of the country, and assert guardianship over various parties. Therefore, curbing Israeli interference is the first and most essential step toward Syria\u2019s advancement. While international organizations bear responsibility, ultimately Syrians themselves, and any future Syrian leadership, must understand that without inclusivity, Israel will continue exploiting contradictions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

International consensus and legal foundations<\/b><\/h2>\n

Tariq Wahbi, a Paris-based international relations researcher, told <\/span>+963<\/b> that \u201cthis statement reflects an international consensus on the need to advance the political process. It pressures local and regional parties to de-escalate and engage in negotiations. While not legally binding like a resolution, it sends a clear message that the status quo is unacceptable and that the international community may later push for binding measures.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Wahbi described Resolution 2254, passed in December 2015, as \u201ca legitimate international foundation for Syria\u2019s political solution. It stipulates a nationwide ceasefire, UN-mediated negotiations between the government and opposition, drafting a new constitution, and holding UN-supervised elections.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The repeated reference to this resolution, he noted, \u201csignals that the UN does not recognize any parallel track outside its framework, even if there are regional or bilateral arrangements. While the UN cannot block every alternative agreement involving the current Syrian government, this underscores its continued presence in the file.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Wahbi argued that after the fall of the regime in Syria, priorities shifted \u201cfrom a transitional process involving the regime to rebuilding state institutions and filling the political vacuum.\u201d This would likely require \u201can annex or amendment to 2254 to outline a temporary governing structure, whether a transitional government or a sovereign council.\u201d However, here the question arises: Can the United Nations stand against the will of the current president, Ahmad Al-Sharaa?<\/span><\/p>\n

He also stressed the need for \u201ca rapid, well-planned strategy to restore security and services, a realistic electoral timetable with security guarantees, and broader legal participation for civil society and local forces; not just the traditional opposition.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe core of Resolution 2254 \u2018constitution, elections, and UN oversight\u2019 will remain,\u201d Wahbi said, \u201cbut the idea of negotiating with the ousted regime may become disused. As for the Council\u2019s stance on internal violence, it routinely condemns civilian-targeted violations by all actors but avoids assigning direct blame unless the major powers agree.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

On Israeli involvement, Wahbi explained that \u201cthe Council\u2019s position is divided due to the U.S. veto, making direct condemnation nearly impossible. References to Israeli strikes are often couched in general terms like \u2018concern over violations of Syrian sovereignty,\u2019 without concrete action, unless linked to broader regional escalation. The current Israeli occupation is particularly dangerous because Syria\u2019s fragmented internal scene and destroyed military infrastructure make any claim to reclaim sovereignty appear, from Israel\u2019s perspective, as a threat to its national security.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
