Syrian Homeland Party stresses civil peace and coexistence in Syria

Amid ongoing discussions on ways to strengthen stability and civil peace in Syria and regulate relations among the different components of society, alongside calls to uphold the rule of law and guarantee constitutional rights, Syrian Homeland Party Secretary-General Thabet al-Jawhar said the party has followed a number of national issues in recent years, focusing on strengthening civil peace and expanding channels of communication among the different components of Syrian society.

Al-Jawhar said some social media pages occasionally publish rhetoric aimed at stirring discord among members of society.

He noted that awareness among state institutions, along with the role of social and national figures, can help curb such attempts and prevent those seeking to fuel divisions from achieving their aims.

He stressed that representatives of Arab and Kurdish tribes, along with religious scholars and national figures, play a role in promoting solidarity and coexistence, a tradition he said has been deeply rooted in Hasakah Governorate for decades.

Al-Jawhar said the party’s presence and activities in Rojava have recently focused on strengthening civil peace through various events and activities it organizes.

He said the Syrian Homeland Party’s vision is based on the belief that building the Syrian state and strengthening its institutions can only be achieved by activating transitional justice, upholding the rule of law, and guaranteeing the rights of all Syrian components through a constitution that protects those rights.

He added that the current stage of state-building in Syria requires greater integration at the administrative and political levels. He also said the party has called for the adoption of a law regulating the work of political parties in Syria, considering them among the mechanisms that enable society to express its concerns and demands and convey them to state institutions within constitutional and legal frameworks.

Al-Jawhar stressed the importance of preserving civil peace, security and stability among Syria’s different components and rejecting hate speech. He warned against attempts to exploit social media to fuel divisions and serve external agendas.

He also stressed the importance of transitional justice and guaranteeing the constitutional rights of all Syrian components, noting that peaceful protest is a right guaranteed to citizens to express their legitimate demands, provided it takes place within legal and peaceful frameworks.

In this context, al-Jawhar criticized some practices accompanying non-peaceful protests, including insults directed at symbols or flags associated with certain communities and religious groups, considering that such practices could undermine efforts toward social integration.

He said, however, that there are social figures and groups that reject such practices and seek to support state-building on legal and constitutional foundations, ensuring the rights of all Syrian components and steering clear of discord, sectarianism and hate speech.

Al-Jawhar concluded by stressing that Syrians aspire to build a state governed by justice and law and that protects the rights of all its components. He said the Syrian Homeland Party’s vision is based on constitutionally guaranteeing these rights, rejecting hate speech and incitement, and working to build a society and state that promote coexistence and stability.
