(Adnkronos) – The recognition of ”women’s political, social and economic rights”. As well as the protection of ”freedom of the press and expression”. These are some of the elements contained in Syria’s constitutional declaration, as announced by the committee that drafted it. ”Ignorance will be replaced with knowledge, violence with forgiveness,” said interim president Ahmed al-Sharaa during the signing.
The declaration also provides for the “absolute separation of powers”, the committee said, adding that it will guarantee “freedom of opinion, expression and the press”. Islamic jurisprudence will be the basis of the law, explains the Sana news agency.
