Syrian ‘State Symbols’ Spark Dispute in Geneva

UN envoy Geir Pedersen during the meetings of the Constitutional Committee in Geneva (United Nations)

A document on Syria’s “state symbols” - presented by the government delegation before the seventh round of the Constitutional Committee’s meetings in Geneva – sparked disputes with the group representing the opposition, headed by Hadi al-Bahra, and other affiliated civil society figures.

The seventh round of meetings ends this Friday, with participants submitting proposals and written comments to the office of UN envoy Geir Pedersen, in order to facilitate talks between the head of the government’s delegation, Ahmad Al-Kuzbari, and Al-Bahra over constitutional reforms within the framework of UN Security Council Resolution 2254.
