Our proposal, opinions and suggestions
Negotiated settlement (Final outcome)
We
believe and have justified our opinion that the best possible outcome for the
current Syrian situation is for it to be resolved through a negotiated
settlement. We have provided several reasons for why we believe so above,
provided solutions to some critique of the solution and provided convincing
evidence proving the potential success of the resolution. We have concluded
that it is the best outcome providing a quick end to the conflict, ensuring
civilians a safe and secure environment despite of religion, ending the severe
impacts of war but also to allow the war torn country for recovery and
restoration.

Other proposed actions
Based
on our opinions and actions that has been proposed, undertaken or completed, we
have judged based on their potential success and results to assess action that
should be taken in striving for a negotiated settlement and are as follows:
Continue the fight for the elimination of chemical artillery
There have been countless reports where the Assad regime
have been utilising chemical weaponry against both civilians and the opposition
which has sparked immense outrage. While positive action is already being
undertaken by the US, further and more radical actions could also be
implemented to completely eradiate the threat of such weapons. Mentioned above
already, the U.S’s project working alongside the OPCW has predicted their
program to destruct the Assad government’s chemical weapon arsenal will be
achieved by the end of 2014 however, we cannot just rely on them to fulfil the
entire goal as it is imperative that it is met independently by them. In order
to ensure the goal is met, governments, groups and individuals who are
passionate and have strong opposing views should be provided a safe chance to
assist their operation.
Stopping the resupply of the regime
Chemical
weapons used by the Al Assad government have resulted in countless number of
deaths, but while we are fighting for its ban, more needs action needs to be
taken to prevent the further loss of life. The war is ongoing as it is being
fuelled by primarily on the illegal firearms trade combined with heavy
artillery and by targeting the trade, it would diminish the ability of the
Assad government to gain weaponry, disrupting their operations, and as a
result, drastically limit the number of civilian deaths. Further, with the lack
of military firepower for the regime, it will be likely that as a result of the
battlefield levelling, the situation would alter into a stalemate, with neither
side capable of victory. Even with this as the response, it will be a great
improvement as with less capable and less destructive weapons, the human
casualties will decline, Syria will also become slightly safer nation but also
cause the Assad government to lose power. There is an even better potential
outcome involving how as a result of the dead stalemate, both sides will be
persuaded to opt to resolving their conflict through a political negotiated
rather than an endless war between them.
In addition to guide this outcome to occur, we propose that a naval blockade be established to further reduce the regime’s arsenal and reliance on firearms gained through illegal trade after their current stock depletes.

Impose a no fly zone
The
establishment of a no fly zone within the warzone in Syria would be extremely
useful in the journey to problem solving for various reasons. Firstly the no
fly zone would prevent hostile aircrafts from flying and attacking, basically
stopping all hostile aircraft activity but also Assad’s option to attack
through aircrafts, meaning that deaths resulting from air strikes would
basically be non-existent. Secondly, it would deny aerial resupply completely
especially of weapons to the Assad regime, which will severely hinder and
disorder their main method of restocking and maintaining their
resources/weapons. Ideally, the imposing of a no fly zone and stopping the
resupply of the regime would be linked and the zone would play a large factor
in achieving so.
revitalising the health system within the region
Currently, Syria’s health system is suffering and
deteriorating from impacts of war and as a result, mortality rates have been on
a rise while life threatening diseases thrive without attention.
We consider health as one of the key factors corresponding to the large increase in death toll and propose that drastic action be taken to address the situation.
The most radical action that we propose to achieve the goal is to organise a joint meeting with the United Nations but also inviting all world political leaders to discuss and devise a plan for the current issue, finding a way to fund and rehabilitate the health system of Syria.
To provide aid, in addition to providing access to necessary medication and medicine, also to medical attention through aid and medical workers with sufficient medical equipment. Firstly, clean and sterilised medical facilities are needed to be set up in order to allow for proper operations to be carried out. Even with the most qualified and experienced medical professionals, if placed in an unsanitary and unclean environment, it could result in a large amount of unsuccessful operations and a very high likelihood of the spread of deadly diseases. Despite violence playing the major killer in Syria, the runner up is in fact diseases, and the spreading of them is currently becoming an increasing threat to the Syrian population. In response, a number of measures we propose should be carried out immediately in order to decrease the increasing child mortality rate that is occurring as it is the children who determines the future of Syria.
Across, as the need for urgent medical aid is increase, the actual support decreases, evident across Syria, where 60% of hospitals and 38% of primary health facilities have been damaged as a result of the war. Medicine production within the country have also been impacted greatly, where it has seen a decline to almost 1/3 of its original production.
Aleppo, the largest city in Syria has really suffered, where the city was populated with 2,500 doctors and now, only 36 remain to care for the entire city.
This provides evidence that urgent action is required to revitalise the health system in Syria, to provide health services and the people in need.
Another health factor that is in desperate need of support and funding is the production of vaccines and programs required to vaccinate the people (mainly the children) against such deadly diseases present in developing world such as Polio, HIV and Hepatitis.
Prior to the outbreak of the war, progress was evident for vaccinations in the developing health services throughout the country with many NGO’s running programs to vaccinate children against diseases. The large number of dedicated programs to help protect Syrian children by providing access to vaccinations must be continued to be funded, to ensure for a bright future for the growing/evolving generation and the nation.
If the aid and support is provided, countless number of indefinite lives will be rescued, whether suffering from treatable injuries or illnesses.

sever and disrupt the trade ties between Russia, china and the Syrian government
Russia
and China have been the main factors which have prevented the UN Security
imposing their resolution on Syria as a result of their differing views on
three voting occasions. By severing the illegal agreement between the three
countries, the possibility of presenting a diplomatic stalemate would increase
dramatically but will also cause the battlefield to level out without the
illegal support of China and Russia supplying the regime. To solve the issue,
Middle Eastern countries should collaborate to cut and disrupt the trade ties between
Russia and China. This will also place pressure on these two countries to
reconsider their support for Assad’s regime with other countries showing their
disapproval.
propose a plan to the united nations
Already outlined briefly above in the solution to problem
two for a negotiated settlement, we propose that an urgent meeting be scheduled
and held by the United Nations along with its Security sector who possess
powerful executive power, to discuss the matters and process of problem solving
similar to the Geneva II Conference on Syria. We believe that the meeting along
with all the international members of the UN along with government officials
but also with representatives form both the Assad regime and the Opposition
will be a proper and effective method of discussing matters, possible solutions
and will strive progress in the situation’s resolution. The main goal however
for the designated convention is to achieve a negotiated settlement between the
two sides of conflict as we mentioned earlier of our strong beliefs that it is
the best possible outcome.
We believe, the most convincing method to achieve the designated result is to bring together the Syrian government and the Syria opposition to discuss future prospects and provide hopeful steps to negotiated agreement in future, alongside being provided advice from international supporters, allies but also from a reliable and trusted mediators.
Our plan is simple and is outlined in the steps below.
- Firstly, conferences should organised and scheduled by the United Nations inviting both the Assad government but also the Syrian Opposition. Along with these parties, the UN should also invite the international community to provide guidance and opinions but also to assess the situation and relation between the parties
- Secondly, based on their situation and their feelings towards each after, during the meetings, the governments and the organisation should try and persuade the groups to opt to negotiate to an agreement especially during discussions. Knowingly that it will take time, the UN should schedule several meetings ahead as the time needed is inevitable however, it will eventually result in a negotiated settlement.
- Thirdly, when the two parties finally consult and reach the decision to end in a negotiated outcome, in order to secure and ensure that it proceeds smoothly and fluent, there is a need for individuals, governments but also organisation officials to monitor and address the progress of both separate parties. Despite the both parties agreeing on terms, there is still a need for UN meetings in order to address and monitor progress but also to discuss any possible or existing complications which have arisen during the process.
