Following reports of airstrikes that damaged hospitals in northern Syria, two senior UN humanitarian officials today called for an end to such attacks.
Once a ceasefire is in place in Syria, the UN should immediately provide the basic outline for a constitution that will lend itself to peaceful development of the nation, including the universal values of freedom, democracy, human rights and rule of law and a four-branch government structure (legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial). This should help Syria develop a constitution suitable for long-lasting peace and prosperity, serving as a model for peaceful development. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
