Main points of Geneva agreement on Syria

World powers on Saturday agreed on a power transition plan for Syria during a crunch meeting in Geneva convened by international envoy Kofi Annan.

Here are the main points of the agreement:

— RECOMMITMENT TO CEASEFIRE: Parties must recommit to a sustained cessation of armed violence, and an immediate implementation of Annan’s six-point peace plan.

— TRANSITION GOVERNMENT: Could include members of the present government and the opposition and other groups and shall be formed on the basis of mutual consent.

— A SYRIAN-DRIVEN PROCESS: Syrians will determine future of their country. All groups in the country must be allowed to join in a national dialogue process.

— CONSTITUTIONAL REVIEW: A review of the constitutional order and legal system to be carried out, and changes subject to popular approval.

— GENUINE ENGAGEMENT: Parties must engage genuinely with Annan to work towards the transition.
