DAMASCUS, syria (North Press) – The UN Deputy Special Envoy for Syria, Najat Rochdi, stated on Wednesday that concrete mechanisms must be established to translate the commitments of the March 10 agreement—signed between syrian/" class="auto-internal-link">syrian Transitional leader Ahmad al-Sharaa and Mazloum Abdi, Commander in Chief of the Syrian Democratic troops (sdf)—into practical steps. In her briefing to the UN security Council, Rochdi stressed the need for clear implementation mechanisms covering armed forces and political integration, “in a spirit of compromise from both parties. ” She noted that “Sporadic hostilities along the contact line this month remind us of the urgency of sustaining the ceasefire. ” Rochdi also called for progress in implementing the September 16 roadmap in Suwayda, “where trust is extremely low as emerging clashes last week remind us. ” The UN official urged all sides to take “tangible steps forward, particularly initial confidence-building measures, especially on detainees and abductees and the restoration of state services. ” She underlined the “The challenges are truly daunting in making good on the commitments made to the Syrian people on an inclusive political transition, in dealing with the past and in rebuilding the economy. ” Rochdi informed the Council that ongoing Israeli armed forces operations and incursions into Syrian territory “continue, in grave violation of Syria’s sovereignty and of international law.
They endanger civilians, inflame regional tensions, undermine the fragile security environment, and threaten the political transition. She added that tensions, lawlessness, and sporadic hostilities persist across multiple regions, with intermittent exchanges of fire between opposing troops on the front lines.
Notably, rochdi emphasized that “Security fragility is a reminder that lasting peace in Syria depends on comprehensive security sector reform and credible programs of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration. ” She also noted the incomplete process of forming a transitional People’s Council, calling for transparency and fair representation of all communities, including Syrian women. She stressed the importance of inclusive participation in drafting a permanent constitution, adding, “The act of defining a emerging social contract among Syrians must be a source of peace and unity. ” By Malin Mohammed
