自索契会议以来，在近一年的时间里，我一直在与叙利亚和国际利益攸关方，尤其是索契会议的召集人进行马拉松式的协商，以期能够在日内瓦组建由叙利亚人自主、叙利亚人主导、联合国推动的一个平衡、包容各方和可信的宪法委员会。我不会再重复这一外交活动的所有步骤。但是，我要重申一些关键点，这样，在我将问题转交给我的继任者之前，我们可以了解自己的立场。
Since the Sochi meeting, over the course of almost a year, I have been undertaking a marathon of consultations with Syrian and international stakeholders, in particular the conveners of the Sochi meeting, to enable the establishment of a Syrian-owned, Syrian-led, United Nations-facilitated, balanced, inclusive and credible constitutional committee in Geneva. I will not recount all the steps of that diplomacy. However, let me reiterate the key points so that we know where we stand before I pass the issue on to my successor.
