  • Talks on a new constitution for Syria hit a brick wall in Geneva on Friday, with the United Nations envoy moderating the all-Syrian discussions concluding: "we can't continue like this." The fifth round of discussions between 15 representatives each from President Bashar al-Assad's government, the opposition and civil society, staged at the UN in Geneva this week, concluded with little to no progress made. "I told the 45 members of the drafting body that we can't continue like this. That the week has been a disappointment," said UN envoy Geir Pedersen. "I set out a few things I thought we should be able to achieve before we started this meeting -- and I'm afraid we did not." The discussions are aimed at rewriting the war-torn country's constitution. The hope is that the talks could pave the way towards a broader political process. Pedersen had proposed a mechanism for moving forward, by turning areas of agreement into a drafting process. "We need this mechanism in place," the Norwegian diplomat told a press conference. "This is not a debating committee. You can continue debating forever. "You need to move this in a manner where the members themselves start to identify areas where they agree or disagree, and then move into the drafting phase." Pedersen said he would most likely be briefing the UN Security Council on the latest position on February 9. The Constitutional Committee was created in September 2019 and first convened a month later. The UN has been striving for approaching 10 years to nurture a political resolution to Syria's civil war. rjm/apo/har
