about Case

The complexities of the Syrian conflict scene as a result of regional interventions, the escalation of violence, and the militarization that has engulfed Syrian public life in various regions. Civil and political forces have essentially been absent from civil participation and ENGAGEMENT in Syria.

To this day, the international community has not been able to push the peace process and the political solution in Syria forward despite the international community’s assertion that the conflict in Syria is a political rather than military solution, but all attempts did not meet the aspirations of the Syrian people with its various components and were also reflected by the promotion of hate speech and the spread of political violence and escalation The power of the security and military forces.

The need today for effective civil forces that participate in decision-making and influence it through a real civil ENGAGEMENT of Syrian societies with different affiliations enhances the political solution in Syria and gives the civil forces the ability to move and express the aspirations of Syrians in a decent and just life and a future based on freedom and societal development , The efforts made by the international community in this regard were seeking to form the constitutional committee. Indeed, the committee launched in meetings that led only to more complexity and the withdrawal of many of its members and distancing themselves from submission to the pressures of international and regional interference practiced by Turkey, Russia and Iran on the Syrians, in particular a region Northeast of Syria whose political and civil forces were excluded from real participation in this committee and other general Syrian issues .


Therefore, it has become necessary to strengthen the capabilities of civil society (civil NGOs and political parties) by raising awareness of civil and political rights and developing their methods of active civil participation/ENGAGEMENT in decision-making and thus the right to shape the future of Syria .
