GENEVA (Reuters) – U.N.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has appointed the heads of four working
groups on Syria, the United Nations said on Tuesday, signalling a step
towards talks where warring parties are expected to discuss how to
implement a roadmap for peace.
“It is hoped that their outcomes could eventually set the
stage for a Syrian agreement to end the conflict on the basis of the
Geneva Communique,” U.N. Syria envoy Staffan de Mistura said, referring
to a 2012 roadmap agreed by world powers.
Jan Egeland, head of the Norwegian Refugee Council, will
head the safety and protection group, and former U.N. legal counsel
Nicolas Michel, a Swiss citizen, will lead political and legal issues,
De Mistura’s office said.
