KOHR: A dialogue session on the Constitutional Committee held by Ezdina Organization in Hasaka

The seventh dialogue session of Ezdina was held in the city of Hasaka, in the presence of a group of media professionals and civil society activists, to discuss the role of the Syrian Constitutional Committee held in Geneva.

The dialogue session, which lasted for more than three hours, dealt with several axes about the work of the Syrian Constitutional Committee and the Geneva conferences and their results.

The participants focused on Resolution 2254 of the United Nations Security Council on a ceasefire, and how to reach a political settlement for the Syrian issue.

At the end of the session, the participants agreed on a set of recommendations:

• Work to develop a constitution that is compatible with the social, cultural, ethnic and racial diversity in Syria.
• Respect for private and public freedoms.
• The right to access information.
• Building a decentralized, pluralistic Syria dominated by a system of social, cultural, ethnic justice.
• Providing professional media training opportunities.
• Independence of media institutions, freedom of expression and the enactment of laws that punish those who abuse media freedom.
• Protecting journalists and not restricting media work through emergency laws.
• Protecting female journalists from threats, kidnapping, verbal or sexual harassments.
• Freedom of printing, publishing, and cultural and intellectual production.

It is noteworthy that Ezdina launched its new project, in northeastern Syria, under the title "A Constitution That Protects Us", starting from February 23, 2021, for a period of three months.
