Constitutional Declaration of the Syrian Arab Republic

President Ahmed al-Sharaa, Posted by Cem Tecimer, 18 March 2025

​Syria's 2025 Constitutional Declaration, signed by interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa, initiates a five-year transitional period following the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime. The declaration emphasizes the establishment of a modern state founded on justice, dignity, and true citizenship, reflecting the aspirations of the Syrian people after enduring decades of authoritarian rule. It underscores the importance of national unity, transitional justice, and the construction of a state that upholds freedom and dignity for all citizens.

Cem Tecimer

Government Regulation Number 28 of 2024 implements Indonesia’s Health Law (Law Number 17 of 2023), introducing significant reforms to the healthcare system. The regulation strengthens hospital governance, sets standards for medical services, and enhances oversight of foreign medical personnel. It also addresses public health concerns by regulating processed foods, controlling substances like tobacco, and incorporating digital health technologies. Notably, the regulation explicitly prohibits female genital mutilation (FGM), marking a critical step in safeguarding women's and girls' health and rights in Indonesia, aligning national policies with global human rights standards.
