The United Nations Security Council Resolution 2254 was unanimously adopted on 18 December 2015. It called for a ceasefire and political settlement in Syria as a means to end the civil war.[2] The document described the roadmap for Syria's political transition.[3]

The resolution

The resolution "demanded" that all parties immediately cease any attacks against civilian targets, it "urged" all Member States to support efforts to achieve a ceasefire and "requested" the U.N. to convene the parties to engage in formal negotiations in early January 2016.

Groups seen as terrorist by the U.N. Security Council, including the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and the al-Nusra Front, were excluded. Offensive and defensive actions against such groups would continue. A mechanism to monitor the ceasefire would be set up.[2]

Within 18 months, free and fair elections would be held under U.N. supervision. The political transition would be Syrian-led.[2]

Aftermath

The UN Resolution 2254 was invoked by Iran, Russia and Turkey as the legal basis for the political process required to solve the Syrian conflict, at the first round of the Astana Talks in January 2017.[4]

In December 2024, after Assad's government was overthrown, Syrian National Coalition president Hadi al-Bahra said that he expected the new transitional government to be in line with the resolution.[5]
