And today, as the homeland returns to its people, and they return to it to rebuild, nurture, and preserve it, it is a historic responsibility to continue the struggle to cement the victory, establish the foundations of justice, ensure that the tragedy is never repeated, and protect future generations from a new dictatorship.

Based on this national duty, and after extensive discussions among the various components of Syrian society in an atmosphere of freedom and mutual exchange of visions for the future of Syria, the National Accord Conference was convened. The conference issued this declaration on February 25, 2025, as an expression of national consensus on major issues, with its preamble affirming:
• Preserving the unity and territorial integrity of Syria.
• Achieving transitional justice and ensuring justice for victims.
• Establishing a state based on citizenship, freedom, dignity, and the rule of law.
• Organizing the country’s affairs during the transitional period in accordance with the principles of good governance.

Relying on Arab and authentic values that characterize Syrian society, including its civilizational heritage, and on national and human principles, with a commitment to democratic governance, this declaration aligns with the spirit of modern Syrian constitutions, particularly those that emphasized Syria’s unity and sovereignty.

The Victory Conference of December 29, 2024, serves as the foundation for this declaration. Accordingly, the President of the Republic issues this constitutional declaration, which is considered an integral part of the constitutional process and cannot be separated from it.
