Outgoing UN envoy makes final pitch for Syria constitution

Outgoing UN envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura on Sunday said that peace in the war-wracked country could be won through a post-war "inclusive constitution". De Mistura is trying to set up a UN-backed constitutional committee for Syria that would include 50 members chosen by Damascus, 50 by the opposition and 50 by the United Nations, before stepping down later this month. "We are getting into that phase," which includes reconstruction, rehabilitation and the return of refugees, de Mistura said.
