Overview
- Security Council members welcomed the comprehensive deal establishing a permanent ceasefire and a framework to fold north‑east Syria’s institutions and forces into state structures, noting implementation is underway.
- UN statements praised Presidential Decree 13 on Kurdish rights and encouraged further Kurdish representation in national bodies and the safe return of displaced Kurds.
- Early steps include limited Syrian government deployments into Qamishli and Hasakah and quieted front lines, though officials say core questions remain on SDF integration, heavy weapons and an Iraq border crossing, with Turkey also voicing concern over YPG–PKK ties.
- The Council highlighted detention risks after reported ISIL escape incidents, welcomed Damascus assuming control and restoring order at facilities, and flagged ongoing U.S.-led transfers of detainees to Iraqi custody.
- UN humanitarian officials reported roughly 130,000 people remain uprooted across Al‑Hasakeh, Ar‑Raqqa and Aleppo, with some service improvements in parts of the northeast but continued need for sustained, unimpeded aid access.
