The Social Contract
Preamble to The Social Contract
"We, the people of the Democratic Self-administration of Afrin, Jazira and Kobane, a confederation of Kurds, Arabs, Syriacs (Assyrians, Chaldeans, Arameans), Turkmen, Armenians and Chechens freely and solemnly declare and establish this Charter. In pursuit of freedom, justice, dignity and democracy and led by principles of equality and environmental sustainability, the Charter proclaims a new social contract based upon mutual and peaceful coexistence and understanding between all strands of society. It protects fundamental human rights and liberties and reaffirms the people’s right to self-determination. Under the Charter we, the people of the Democratic Self-administration, unite in the spirit of reconciliation, pluralism and democratic participation so that all may express themselves freely in public life. In building a society free from authoritarianism, militarism, centralism and the intervention of religious authority in public affairs, the Charter recognizes Syria’s territorial integrity and aspires to maintain domestic and international peace. In establishing this Charter, we declare a political system and civil administration founded upon a social contract that reconciles the rich mosaic of Syria through a transitional phase from dictatorship, civil war and destruction to a new democratic society that builds unity through diversity where civic life and social justice are preserved." |
