  1. A strong opposition party must compete in the race
    Assad should legitimise the existence of a strong opposition party to support the legal and regulatory political framework.
  2. The electoral race must be observed by the UN
    The elections must be free from electoral fraud and rigging ultimately allowing the Syrian’s to vote for their future government, which is why it is important that the UN observes the running of these elections to prevent any further corruption.
  3. The Syrian people must decide the fate of their country
    The importance of Bashar’s resignation has lost itself in the midst of all the chaos taking place, which is why democratic systems need to be in place to have peace.
