The second round of meetings of the mini-committee to discuss the constitution starts tomorrow

 The mini-committee to discuss the constitution will begin its second round of meetings tomorrow at the United Nations headquarters in Geneva with the participation of the delegation supported by the Syrian government and other delegations.

The committee’s meetings will be closed to the media as in the previous round, according to a statement by the office of the UN Special Envoy to Syria, Geir Pederson.

The mini-committee held its first rounds between 4 to 8 November, during which an agenda by the Syrian government-backed delegation was adopted. The Syrian government-backed delegation also presented a “no paper”, centering mainly on combating and eradicating terrorism and condemning the countries supporting it, but the Turkish regime team rejected it.

At a press conference at the end of the first round, the UN Secretary General’s Special Envoy to Syria described the discussions as professional and successful, which focus on many issues, particularly Syria’s sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity, as well as continuing the fight against terrorism.

The mini-committee includes 45 members, 15 members of the delegation supported by the Syrian government, 15 members of the Turkish regime team and 15 members of the civil society delegation.

On November 1, the enlarged commission of the 150-member constitutional discussion committee agreed on the members of the mini-committee and approved a code of conduct paper and procedures governing the work of the expanded and small commissions.
