<p>We support several moderate opposition groups in Syria who we would want to see
involved in a political process. We define these groups in terms of ideology and tactics:
moderates are liberal, secular or Islamist in their political outlook, call for a
wider pluralistic system that respects the rights of all Syrians and reject terrorism
and terrorist tactics, for example by seeking to protect civilians from harm and to
prevent abuses. Several moderate opposition groups refer to themselves as being part
of the Free Syrian Army. The UK does not support designated terrorist organisations
in Syria or groups who use terrorist tactics, such as the Islamic State of Iraq and
the Levant and Jabhat al Nusra, which are designated terrorist organisations under
the UN al Qaeda sanctions regime.</p>
