The only solution is a political transition as outlined in resolution 2254: namely, a ceasefire; the establishment of credible, inclusive, non-sectarian governance that respects the rights of the Syrian people; constitutional revision; and free and fair elections, pursuant to the new constitution, supervised by the UN with the participation of all Syrians, including members of the diaspora.” - Ambassador Jonathan Cohen
