The International Peace in Syria Initiative Meets with Government and Opposition in Damascus and Lebanon http://www.antiimperialista.org/peace_mission_syria
This international initiative is composed of prominent civil society figures from Europe and Latin America (list attached)
representing all those concerned with peace and justice in Syria. Its
aim is to contribute to the end of the war and the suffering by helping
create favourable conditions for the advancement of the political
process through dialogue and negotiations.In order to achieve such an aim, we met with State officials at high
levels and various groups and parties of the opposition inside and
outside the country, along with religious organizations and
international and non-governmental bodies.We have been received, have been informed on the aspects and essence of the conflict, and have been heard.On the basis of the discussions held, the Initiative identified key areas of agreement and drew the following conclusions:1 The conflict cannot be solved by military means.2 There is a need for a viable political solution based on dialogue
and negotiations and aiming at drawing up a political transitional
framework.3
A sectarian war is now in the making and there is a real
possibility of it becoming transnational, making peace all that more
urgent.4 The conflict has had a catastrophic impact on the Syrian people as
6.8 million people are in need of assistance, according to interviewed
United Nations officials.5 The inflow and funding of weapons, soldiers, foreign fighters and
militia from the outside aimed at continuing the war must all stop.6 The embargo has increased misery among the population and is a
factor, among others, affecting the delivery of the much needed
assistance.
7 The Geneva II meeting must be attended and supported by all
relevant parties in a way that genuinely meets the social aspirations of
the Syrian people based on justice for the dispossessed, displaced and
oppressed.
