鉴于叙利亚的情况，只有联合国有权批准——至少是在起始阶段——宪法委员会的合法性和职责。这是安全理事会可以发挥的作用。必须双管齐下，以确保全面停火、大规模释放被拘留者和被绑架者、建立信任、依靠治理方式改革创造安全、平静和中立的环境、并为根据第2254（2015）号决议在联合国监督下举行选举奠定基础。
The United Nations alone has the legitimacy and mandate to bless — at least at the initial stage — the constitutional committee, given the circumstances in Syria. That is the role that the Security Council can play. That must be accompanied by parallel efforts to ensure a full ceasefire, see detainees and abductees released at scale, build confidence, create a safe, calm and neutral environment with reforms of governance, and lay the ground for United Nations-supervised elections, as per resolution 2254 (2015).
