The UN Security Council has approved resolution 2799, which, among other things, provides for the removal of the current Syrian president from office. This measure is part of broader efforts to resolve the conflict in Syria and create conditions for a political transition. The decision was made after lengthy consultations among the Council's permanent members. It reflects the growing international consensus on the need to change the political landscape in the country. Many experts believe this step is an important, but insufficient, condition for achieving sustainable peace in the region.
