This document sets out a comprehensive and inclusive roadmap for finding a solution for Syria. The roadmap is based on a single strategy with seven interlinked tracks; it adopts an integrated approach that draws together bottom-up and top-down approaches. The implementation of the plan is divided into delineated phases, each of these phases begin with agreements between the Syrian parties and the provision of international guarantees.

This roadmap was drawn up in accordance with a vision that was developed without reference to any existing political position. It is informed by the desire to serve the interests of the Syrian people by putting an end to their suffering and to the war, which is depleting their moral and material resources and jeopardizing the future of an entire generation. The intention is to put an end to that war through a process that will: establish a lasting peace in Syria based on the rule of law, justice and civil liberties; preserve Syrian state institutions; and address the growing danger posed by terrorism in Syria.

The purpose of this document is to present the parties and stakeholders as proposed draft of roadmap. The document sets out the main issues that must be addressed in order to open the way for a more inclusive dialogue on the shape that a possible solution could take and on a starting point for setting Syria on the path towards such a solution.
