Thomas Barack, the US Presidential Special Envoy to Syria and Iraq, affirmed that the opening of the second session of the People's Council lays the foundations for a new Syria based on dignity and prosperity, with the participation of all Syrians. Barack sent congratulations to Syrians via his account on the 'X' platform, describing the opening as a landmark step in the transition from autocracy to renewal.
For his part, Barack pointed out that for decades the Council had lent an air of approval to a reality based on coercion, noting that its leadership now has a rare opportunity to transform it from a tool of power into a source of legitimacy based on representation, accountability, and the rule of law. He affirmed that nations are not built in moments of victory, but through accumulation across successive sessions, discussions, and reforms.
He added that the Council, by overcoming obstacles to justice, enhancing access to the judiciary, and revitalizing trade, is laying the pillars of the new Syria. He stressed that the system is based on dignity, and stability relies on equal opportunities and shared prosperity among all Syrians.
In the same context, the second day of the second session of the first ordinary term in the first legislative term of the People's Council began, where a draft law was approved that includes the cancellation of all legal provisions containing the denial of the right to litigation or the shielding of any administrative act or decision from the supervision of the competent judiciary, wherever they appear in effective legislation.
