我们在担任安理会理事国期间再三强调，只有通过联合国促成的全面政治对话，才能有效和可持续地解决叙利亚危机。情况依然如此。军事解决行不通。叙利亚各方必须秉诚与新任命的特使裴凯儒先生进行建设性接触。我们祝愿他圆满履行职责。同样重要的是，对当地行为体有影响力的其他会员国也必须支持谋求叙利亚持久和平。遗憾的是，在叙利亚问题上一直很难达成共识。我无需提醒各位成员，安全理事会是负责维护国际和平与安全的机构。它的团结，尤其是常任理事国的协商一致，是在叙利亚取得进展的核心和关键。为了过去八年忍受如此多苦难的叙利亚人民，我们希望所有行为体最终一道努力，找到一条共同途径，结束这场仍在持续的悲剧。早该采取这样的行动了。奥泰比先生（科威特）（以阿拉伯语发言）：首先，我们感谢斯塔凡·德米斯图拉先生所作的全面而详细的通报，并感谢他过去四年为实现叙利亚和平付出的不懈努力。三年前，在这个安理厅，安全理事会一致通过第2254（2015）号决议，决议绘制了路线图，以期用政治方式公正解决叙利亚问题，并让这个拥有辉煌历史的阿拉伯国家恢复稳定。但是，三年过去了，令人遗憾的是，我们未能在实地落实该决议。1月份，在索契达成了设立一个宪法委员会的协定。我们对委员会投入运作期待已久。迄今为了委员会能够在年底之前开始工作而付出的努力都没有成功。我们再次呼吁成立一个代表叙利亚各部分人口的平衡、可信、全面和包容各方的委员会。我们相信它将为推动叙利亚政治进程发挥重要作用。宪法委员会是政治过渡的第一步，政治过渡包括多个步骤，例如起草宪法并根据宪法，在联合国监
We have repeatedly stressed during our time on the Council that the Syrian crisis can be effectively and sustainably addressed only through a comprehensive political dialogue facilitated by the United Nations. The situation in the Middle East 20/12/2018 That remains the case. Thereis no military solution. The Syrian parties must engage constructively and in good faith with the newly appointed Special Envoy, Mr. Pedersen. We wish him every success in discharging his responsibilities. Equally important, other Member States with influence over local actors must also support the search for durable peace in Syria. Regrettably, forging agreement on Syrian issues has been very difficult. I do not have to remind members that the Security Council is the body responsible for the maintenance of international peace and security. Its unity, particularly agreement among the permanent members, is central and critical to making progress in Syria. For the sake of the Syrian people, who have endured so much over the last eight years, we hope that all actors will finally work together to find a common path to end that continuing tragedy. Such action is very long overdue. Mr Alotaibi (Kuwait) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, we thank Mr. Staffan de Mistura for his comprehensive and detailed briefing and for his relentless efforts over the past four years to achieve peace in Syria. Three years ago in this Chamber, the Security Council unanimously adopted resolution 2254 (2015), which set a road map for reaching a just political settlement in Syria and restoring stability to that dear Arab country, which has a great history. However, three years have passed and we have, unfortunately, not been able to implement that resolution on the ground. In January, an agreement was reached in Sochi to establish a constitutional committee. We have long awaited the start of its functioning. Efforts made thus far to allow the committee to begin its work before the end of the year have been unsuccessful. We renew our call for a balanced, credible, comprehensive and inclusive committee in which all Syrian components are represented. We believe that that would play a vital role in moving the Syrian political process forward. The constitutional committee is the first step in a political transition that includes several steps, such as drafting
