Syria's Assad decrees multi-party system - Middle East - Al Jazeera English

Syria's Assad decrees multi-party system - Middle East - Al Jazeera English: "President Bashar al-Assad has issued a decree authorising a multi-party political system in Syria, a day after the UN Security Council issued a statement condemning the regime's use of force against protesters.

The state-controlled SANA news agency reported that the decree, issued on Thursday, was aimed at 'activating the political life and citizens' participation'.

SANA said a party established under the new law would have to show commitment to the constitution, principles of democracy and respect liberties and international declarations of human rights."
