我们现在站在将决定叙利亚冲突结局的十字路口。如果俄罗斯和叙利亚政权未能在年底之前帮助组建一个合法、可信和平衡的宪法委员会，我们所有人应当让他们直面这一失败。美国准备好与我们的盟友和叙利亚问题小组中的伙伴一道把重点放在支持联合国领导的重振政治进程努力上。我们还将努力进一步从外交和经济上孤立该政权。请允许我说清楚——将不会有重建资金。叙利亚政权将不会有合法性。将不会为难民返回提供便利。我们将不会讨论甚至考虑这些问题，直至我们使政治进程向前推进。美国仍然坚定致力于执行根据第2254（2015）号决议商定的政治解决叙利亚冲突蓝图，以便实现叙利亚的和平与安全。我们期待与联合国和新任特使裴凯儒共同努力，永久、和平地结束冲突。
We are at a crossroads that will define the end of the Syrian conflict. If Russia and the regime do not help form a legitimate, credible and balanced constitutional committee before the end of the year, we should all place that failure squarely at their feet. The United States is ready, with our allies and partners in the small group, to focus on supporting United Nations-led efforts to reinvigorate a political process. We also would work to further isolate the regime diplomatically and economically. Let me be clear — there will be no reconstruction money. There will be no legitimacy for the regime. There will be no facilitation for returns of refugees. That will not be discussed or even considered until we get the political process moving. The United States remains firmly committed to the blueprint for a political solution to the Syrian conflict, agreed by resolution 2254 (2015), in order to achieve peace and stability in Syria. We look forward to working with the United Nations and with the incoming Special Envoy Geir Pedersen to create a permanent and peaceful end to the conflict.
