铭记这一点，我们的指导原则必须是确保委员会是一个有效、务实和包容各方、叙人主导和叙人所有的机构，以便向前迈进。为此，委员会需要得到强有力的国际支持。然而，归根结底，决定叙利亚未来的权利完全属于叙利亚人自己。
With that in mind, our guiding principle must be to ensure that the committee is an effective, pragmatic and inclusive Syrian-led and Syrian-owned vehicle in order to move forward. To achieve that, the committee needs strong international support. However, ultimately, the right to determine the future of Syria belongs exclusively to the Syrians themselves.
