关于第一点即宪法委员会，我们充分支持联合国召集宪法委员会的努力。我们肯定阿斯塔纳进程担保国努力设法解决宪法委员会联合国“三分之一中间派”代表名单问题。让我强调，一个可信的政治进程需要有一个可信、平衡、包容所有叙利亚人的宪法委员会。宪法委员会必须得到包括叙利亚反对派在内的所有各方的接受。一个不符合这些条件的宪法委员会，将缺乏必要的国际合法性。我们呼吁联合国继续监测和确保各方在宪法委员会上的平等代表权。我们重申妇女代表至少占宪法委员会及各小组委员会30％的重要性。
With regard to my first point concerning the constitutional committee, we fully support the efforts of the United Nations to convene the constitutional committee. We acknowledge the efforts of the Astana guarantors to find a way forward on the United Nations middle third list of representatives on the committee. Let me underline that a credible political process demands a constitutional committee that is credible, balanced and inclusive of all Syrians. The constitutional committee needs to be acceptable to all parties, including the Syrian opposition. A committee that does not meet those conditions would lack the necessary international legitimacy. We call on the United Nations to continue to monitor and ensure equal representation in the constitutional committee. We repeat the importance of a minimum of 30 per cent female representation in the constitutional committee and its subcommittees.
