Second round of discussing the Syrian constitution is to take place on Monday at the UN Headquarters in Geneva with the participation of the Syrian Government-backed delegation and other delegations.

SANA news agency said that the meeting of the Mini-Committee of the expanded body of the Committee of Discussing the Constitution will meet behind closed doors like the previous round, citing a statement issued by the office of the UN Special Envoy for Syria Geir Pedersen.

The Mini-Committee held its first round between Nov. 4-8 as it adopted an agenda proposed by the Syrian Government-backed delegation which also presented a proposal that mainly includes combating terrorism and drying up its resources, in addition to condemning the countries which support it, but the group of the Turkish regime rejected it.

At the conclusion of the first round, Pederson described the talks as “professional and successful”. He added that they focused on many issues, on top of which was Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, in addition to continuing to combat terrorism.

The Mini-Committee consists of 45 members, 15 from the Syrian Government-backed delegation, 15 from members of the delegation of other parties, and 15 from members of the delegation representing civil society.
