Part 4/5:
U.S. Envoy to the UN, Robert Wood, addressed the challenges lying ahead, noting that no one anticipated the swift collapse of the Syrian regime. He conveyed a sense of cautious optimism amidst the uncertainty, stating that the people of Syria should soon experience a degree of freedom after enduring years under a repressive regime.
The fluidity of the current situation in Syria requires ongoing assessments from Council members as they navigate this critical transition. The UN’s special envoy for Syria, Hedi Abed, also urged Council members to support an inclusive, Syrian-led political process that could help pave the way for lasting peace.
