The Definition of the Council:
It is a Syrian national democratic framework that consists of societal and political powers and independent figures who ratify its documents.
It is open to all political organizations and figures in order to assume their responsibilities in saving Syria and achieving the aspirations of the Syrian people for the comprehensive democratic change, gender equality, justice, and building a regime that expresses the national project.
For this reason, the Syrian Democratic Council (SDC) is engaged in a continuous struggle to combat extremism in all its forms, and to establish civil administrations that lay the foundation for a democratic political regime that translates the principle of decentralization that guarantees the success of sustainable development projects throughout the country and undermines the foundations of discrimination and authoritarianism.
Also, the Syrian Democratic Council is the reference and political umbrella for the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria and the Syrian Democratic Forces, which is authorized to conduct any negotiating process, considering the option of a political solution by negotiations as the only method to save the country.
The founding conference of the Council was held in the city of Derik (northeastern Syria) on December 9th, 2015.
The Political Document of the Syrian Democratic Council (SDC)
After more than a century of the international agreements that resulted from the First World War, when the new maps of the region were drawn without any consideration of the aspirations of the people in the region followed by the authoritarian nationalist regimes’ assumption of power in the newly established states, structural crises and internal wars started again in the region, manifested in Syria as a third world war that has been going on for six years. The Syrian crisis entered its seventh year and the war machine continues to take lives and spread death and destruction during the failure of Syrians to reach consensual formulas and develop a political project to take the country out of the darkness despite holding dozens of conferences, but there is not a consensus on resolving the crisis by the international powers concerned with the Syrian file. The violence of the authoritarian regime and counter-violence have led to the death of hundreds of thousands of innocent Syrians, and like them, are missing people, more than two million wounded and disabled and millions of displaced peoples as well as the complete destruction of most cities, towns and villages and their infrastructure.
Consequently, the popular movement, which began in mid-March in 2011, lacked the efficient leadership capable of leading and directing the process of change and democratic transition for many reasons, the most important of which are the absence of a correct vision of Syria’s reality and the prospects of its future, the lack of good strategies and plans to develop this popular movement and thus turn the Syrian issue into a complicated crisis, and the lack of reliance on the available local powers, which in turn allowed external interventions to violate Syria’s sovereignty to the point that the foreign powers have become the decisive factor, and often the only ones that control the directing the crisis. Therefore, Syria was exposed to countless external interventions, and the sources of funding were numerous so these sources were able to use the Syrian arena to settle their score and serve their strategic and tactical interests. Thus, there was a chance for the emergence and growth of extremist fundamentalist groups which later dominated the fragile and inadequately organized Syrian opposition powers, such as Al Qaeda, Al Nusra Front, and ISIS as terrorist extremist groups that fight under the name of religion against all human values.
The events of the previous years in Syria and the region have confirmed to us that the revolution at this stage and in such situations undoubtedly needs a comprehensive theory that obviously embodies the modernity and ensures the effective and responsible participation of different peoples and components in building, protecting and developing a new democratic regime. The best example of this is the experience of the Democratic Autonomous Administration in Rojava (northern Syria) which has been responsible for managing the region in difficult circumstances. In addition, it has secured people’s lives from the attacks of the Takfiri groups and provided livelihood for its residents despite the severe siege on the region. The participatory administration represented the existing components of the region, and it enhanced the fraternal ties among them on the basis of peaceful coexistence. Under this administration, Syrians sacrificed their lives to build a free and dignified life. Kurds, Arabs, Syriacs, Assyrians and Turkmen fought in the past and still fight together against the fiercest aggression and still sacrifice on a daily basis.
The political solution for the Syrian crisis imposes itself as the only solution capable of putting an end to the tragedy and gives the chance for all the components of society to play the desired role in Syria’s future, based on democratic foundations to build a democratic pluralistic society and decentralized constitutional institutions.
As the Syrian crisis is a structural crisis based on one nation-state, tyranny, and exclusion, the solution in Syria must be directed towards decentralization, partnership and true democracy to enable all components, regardless of their views and affiliations, to achieve their aspirations in the common homeland, which must include all without exclusion or monopolization or domination. It must be a homeland governed by just laws and run by democratic institutions, guaranteed by a modern constitution. On the contrary, the insistence on the nation-state or the imposition of a centralized government will lead to the division of Syria.
On the other hand, the insistence on a decentralized federal Syria does not mean abolishing the centralization entirely. Rather, the centralization will shift from being a tool of control to a mean of co-ordination and unification of all the regions that constitute the whole of the country, while maintaining of management specific functions that are generally strategic.
In order to stop the bloodshed in Syria and the state of fragmentation of its political powers, and to confront and defeat terrorism, an intra-Syrian dialogue is needed to rebuild a free democratic Syria, based on justice, diversity, equality between the sexes, and the consideration of women’s freedom as the basis of all freedoms. Syria has an important role to play in democratizing regimes throughout the Middle East and it will define the political systems in the region for the next hundred years. Therefore, we rely on Syria as a decentralized pluralistic democracy.
Accordingly, the SDC, established on 8-9 December, 2015 in Derik, emphasizes the following principles:
- The people of the Syrian state are an integrated community unit, based on equal citizenship in rights and duties without any distinctions. They are free and sovereign within their state and are proud of their diversity and rich cultural heritage. They build their state on the basis of shared history, peaceful coexistence and common living and work for the public interest with the participation of all its components without exclusion. The Syrian people express the harmonious interaction of the community among the indigenous peoples in the region, such as the Arabs, Kurds, Syriacs, Assyrians, Chaldeans and other nationalities such as, Turkmen, Circassians and Armenians. All ethnicities enjoy legitimate national rights in accordance with international covenants and pacts. So, the Syrian people are united within the entity of the Syrian state with emphasis on the recognition of social and political diversity.
- Acknowledging the Syrian diversity and the constitutional recognition of national rights of the Kurdish people, Syriacs, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Armenians, Turkmen and Circassians peoples, and resolving their issues in a democratic and just manner in accordance with international pacts and covenants.
- Preserving the unity and participation of the Syrian homeland. A homeland that does not confine itself to a single ethnicity or language or religion, but a multilingual, multinational and multi-faith homeland that enjoys the patriotic spirit based on attachment to the territory, ecology and progress away from ethnic or Soviet beliefs.
- Transition from a state of political tyranny, soviet mindset, centralized regime and nation-state regime to a democratic federal and decentralized regime. It is impossible for a state to be nationalistic and democratic at the same time. The nature of a republic as a nation-state is a key factor in the exclusion and elimination of the democratic characteristics of societies. If the cultural diversity is applied on the political reality of Syria, and thus the principle of the democratic resolution will be in line with the model of Syrian democratic federal republic, as an inclusive political regime of all federations for all citizens. This means that the core principle of the democratic nation is gotten, and there can be several federal regions according to the will of the social components of the country.
- In order to consolidate the principles of democracy and secularism, there must be a consensual democratic constitution that is considered the legal guarantor of the unity of the federations within the common homeland.
- Fighting various Takfiri groups, countering the culture of extremism in all forms and support the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to complete the liberation of Syria’s regions from terrorist groups and extremist forces.
- Considering women’s freedom as the basis and guarantee of all freedoms. In order to eliminate undemocratic and unjust practices against women, there is a need for constitutional articles guaranteeing gender equality in all spheres of life. Therefore, the effective participation of women in the process of drafting a new constitution for Syria is essential.
- Considering equal representation of both sexes in all spheres of life as a fundamental principle for achieving a just and free life in the Syrian society and must be ensured by the constitution.
- Adopting an economic policy that protects society and the environment from monopolistic influences, meets the needs of society, achieves the fair distribution of the wealth that we have as Syrians, and eliminates unemployment, so that work is secured for everyone.
- Considering the linguistic and cultural rights of every nation in all fields as a basic human right. Therefore, education in mother tongues in the new constitution, guarantees for all the Kurds, Arabs, Syriacs, Assyrians, Armenians, Circassians and Turkmen, is essential to strengthen the social and cultural fabric of Syrian society, which gives the chance for a voluntary union among all components.
- The self-defense is a fundamental issue related to the existence of peoples and the protection of their social and cultural identities in Syria. Life without self-defense ends up in tragedies, disasters and the destruction of societies. Therefore, guaranteeing the self-defense of societies is imperative to secure a free, equal and just life.
- Young people are considered as an active power in society. They must be represented in the desired democratic regime with real representation, and they are the vanguard of the democratic change process. Therefore, caring for them and giving them the right for representation and work in all spheres of life is one of the principles of a free life.
- Ensuring the rights of people with special needs, especially the victims of the devastating war that Syria has experienced and is experiencing during the war years.
- Considering the old fighters as one of the moral values of the revolution, in which they require taking care of and ensuring their rights in a decent and dignified life.
- Protecting children and developing creative projects to save the children of violence years from the consequences of displacement, militarization and illiteracy according to international laws and norms.
- Social justice is a guarantee of the social peace and balanced development.
- Adopting the good-neighborliness principle and relations based on mutual interests as principles to maintain the national security.
- Emphasis on the unity of Syrian territory.
- Martyrs are the moral values of the revolution and society, and reviving them according to the society and history means the preservation of the revolution. Therefore, taking care of their families is a moral duty.
The principles of the SDC are a Syrian democratic national project that seeks to include all social components and political entities at this exceptional and critical stage to enable them to assume their responsibilities to save their country from the tragedy it faces and to achieve their people’s aspirations for comprehensive change and the establishment of an alternative democratic regime. The SDC is the project that will unify Syria and save it from the state of division that has suffered over the past years. It is a political umbrella of the SDF, the forces that have made sacrifices for the future of Syria.
The Democratic Transition
- Roadmap to resolve the Syrian crisis
The developments in the Middle East and Syria, the destruction caused by the authoritarian central nation-states, which forcibly defined their borders, regimes of the global hegemony at the beginning of the last century, and their political consequences were obvious; all of those matters mean that our region, especially Syria, is being ravaged by crises that have structural, cognitive, political and socio-economic basics, and that societies cannot be controlled by the old management style of authoritarian states, and instead of that , the establishment of a democratic society should be done as a new stage in the form of democratic regimes and nations. Union, brotherhood, collective life and pluralism in the Middle East, Syria in particular, and its traditions and cultural heritage are more ancient than anywhere else. Despite the fragmentation of national or ideological countries that were established by the senior classes in society, peoples and communities have adopted living alongside in brotherhood and peace, so they did not know the politics of hatred, enmity, marginalization, fragmentation and defining borders. Those who complicate these matters and create conflicts are the dominant internal and external powers. According to these facts, we believe that a realistic resolution in Syria is achieved by building a democratic society; so through it, the structure of the centralized, intolerant and tyrannical nation-state will not be allowed, permanent and radical solutions for democratic and social issues aren’t be found. Moreover, all international consultations that have taken place so far on the future of Syria are intractable to a resolution based on the central and authoritarian state regime, and that the conception of a democratic decentralized Syria is the way out of this stubbornness, to which all relevant international understandings are directed.
Many procedures should be done to achieve the following:
Peaceful coexistence among peoples, achieving the establishment of a democratic, ecological and social society, building a regime of law and democracy that secures a free and dignified life for all segments of the people, and commitment to the values of truth and social justice away from the concepts of the military and religious nation-state, equality without discrimination on the basis of race, religion, creed or denomination or gender with the aim of implement the moral and political fabric of Syrian society its function of mutual understanding and coexistence within pluralism, and respect for the principle of peoples’ right to self-determination and their right for liberation. Respect for international peace and security. Ensure women’s rights on the basis of de facto equality, and guarantee the rights of children and youth. Ensuring self-protection and legitimate defense, respecting freedom of religion and belief, and the state’s neutrality towards it.

8- Immediately start creating conditions for the return of the displaced with the help of United Nations organizations.
