| Lakhdar Brahimi, Special Representative for Syria, briefs journalists on Geneva II conference on Syria. 30 January 2014 |
The members of the Security Council expressed their full support to the
Joint Special Representative and appreciation for his efforts. They stated
their support for a resumption of the talks in Geneva based on a genuine engagement
by all parties involved to implement the Geneva Communique of 30 June 2012.
The members of the Security Council expressed full support to the agenda
of four points submitted by the Joint Special Representative for the resumption
of the talks: violence and terrorism; transitional governing body; national
institutions; national reconciliation and national debate. They also expressed
their support for M. Brahimi’s approach for dealing with the first two points
in parallel and emphasized the need for genuine engagement on the creation of a
transitional governing body. The members of the Security Council reiterated the
centrality of the transitional governing body, with full executive powers,
formed by mutual consent, to implement the transition foreseen in the Geneva
Communiqué.
As the situation deteriorates on the ground, the members of the Security
Council recalled their demand that all parties work towards the comprehensive
implementation of the Geneva Communiqué of 30 June 2012 leading to a genuine
political transition that meets the legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people
and enables them independently and democratically to determine their own
future, including through elections organized within the framework of the Geneva
peace talks process. They further stressed that rapid progress on a political
solution should include full participation by all groups and segments of Syrian
society, including women, and represents the only sustainable opportunity to
resolve the situation in Syria peacefully. The Security Council called for the
full implementation of UNSCR 2139.
