Syria’s transitional President Ahmad Al-Sharaa has ordered a committee to draft a constitutional declaration. This follows the National Dialogue Conference, which produced 18 non-binding recommendations. The committee will create a document outlining the transitional governance framework for Syria.

Ahmad Al-Sharaa, Syria’s transitional President, has initiated the drafting of a constitutional declaration to govern the ongoing transition in the country. This decision was formalized in an official decree released by the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA). Under this decree, a committee comprising seven experts has been tasked with crafting the document for submission to Al-Sharaa.

The decree, which is composed of three articles, specifies that the committee’s responsibility is to create a constitutional framework that outlines the transitional phase for the Syrian Arab Republic. This directive follows the recently held National Dialogue Conference on February 25, which resulted in 18 non-binding recommendations focused on promoting national unity and state-controlled military governance, among other issues. However, the actual impact of these recommendations remains uncertain and appears unclear at this stage.

The establishment of a drafting committee for a constitutional declaration by President Ahmad Al-Sharaa signifies an important step in Syria’s transitional efforts. While the National Dialogue Conference produced several recommendations aimed at strengthening governance and unity, their effectiveness is still to be assessed as the country navigates its transitional landscape.
