<p>The latest phase of UN-facilitated peace talks on Syria came to a pause in Geneva
on 24 March. UN Special Envoy, Staffan de Mistura intends to reconvene the parties
after the Easter break. This latest phase continued in the “proximity talks” format
rather than direct talks between the parties. During their discussions with the UN
Special Envoy, the High Negotiations Committee of the Syrian Opposition presented
their plans for political transition. Conversely, we understand that the Syrian regime
did not engage on issues of substance during their discussions with the UN Special
Envoy. At the conclusion of this round of talks, the UN produced a paper outlining
its assessment of the “points of convergence” between the opposition and regime and
has invited both sides to consider it before talks resume on or around 10 April.</p>
