Improvement Objective

Eliminate violence between religious groups.

How Syria needs to improve:

The country should strive to create a better law system that is correctly enforced so that there are consequences worthy of suppressing these religious groups.

Objective:

Laws need to be enforced so that violence is met with restraint which will lead to a lack of it.

Required outcome

Syria needs to create a better law system so that these acts of violence can be eliminated. When this process has been completed Syria will be a much safer for people of all religions.

Syria can be safer place for all people no matter what their religion is.

“Syria has been named as the most dangerous country in the world, amidst its civil war and the rise of Isis, according to a huge set of new figures showing global levels of peace and violence.”

Many opportunities will open up because the people can cooperate with other people they don’t necessarily agree with.

“At its birth in the spring of 2011, it promised hope for a better, freer life for Syria’s people. Syrian aspirations resonated with lovers of liberty everywhere: an end to governmental corruption and arbitrary arrest; an independent judiciary; a free press; equality before the law; abolition of torture; genuine elections leading to legitimate authority; and democratic institutions responsible to the governed. The state responded with arrests and violence. Dissidence evolved into war.”

The Syrian government will be able to focus their energy on other, more important, problems in the country.

"People have nothing to eat, having exhausted all their supplies and resorted to eating plant leaves... reports of deaths from starvation were receive."

Strategies

Syria will first introduce a few laws the prohibit violence including necessary consequences for violations of these laws. A large investment in police officers and jails might be necessary .

This will provide more jobs in Syria which also helps the Syrian economy.

“The latest assessment of rural poverty in the country, conducted by IFAD, found that half of Syria's poor rural households depend on wages for their livelihood. One third of poor rural people cultivates crops and raise livestock to obtain an income. The incidence of poverty is lowest among the 20 per cent of rural people who rely on mixed, or multiple, sources of income. Half of the households in Syria own land, but 70 per cent of these smallholdings are less than three hectares.”

Syria would be considered more dependable and safe.

“ According to the UNHCR, as of January 2015, almost 1,623,000 people have sought refuge in Turkey, over 622,000 in Jordan,133,000 in Egypt, 235,000 in Iraq and almost 1,168,000 in Lebanon. The primary reasons for fleeing appear to be atrocities committed against civilians, reported the International Rescue Committee in January 2013, with journeys to safety made more treacherous by winter conditions.”

Support

The United Nations will step in to assist in providing people to enforce these laws. “Established by United Nations Security Council resolution 2043 of 21 April 2012, initially for a 90-day period, to monitor a cessation of armed violence in all its forms by all parties and to monitor and support the full implementation of the Joint Special Envoy’s six-point plan to end the conflict in Syria.”

Missionaries would be stationed in Syria to help inspire peace between religious people. "Christian Aid supports the work of indigenous ministries in the region that are responding to the Syrian refugee crisis. Gospel workers have distributed food packets, milk and diapers for babies, blankets, and shelter materials. They have also handed out New Testaments and other Christian literature to those who are interested in hearing the good news of Jesus Christ.”

Volunteer or paid police officers would be responsible for protecting missionaries and limiting religious violence. “The law enforcement in Syria is carried out by police forces for general policing duties; internal security duties are carried out by several intelligence agencies”

Responsibilities

Country:

· To provide protection and rights to innocent Syrians

. Open up more jobs, and have more economic opportunities

. provide protection for Syrians not involved in these disputes

Support:

· provide armed forces to protect Syrians

. give ideas to fix these disputes

”Throughout the region, the demands for change--for jobs, food, health care, and basic security to live in peace--have not been addressed by the political upheavals. If anything, grievances have grown. And in many ways, the Arab Spring has worsened deep societal splits, both between secularists (those who want to keep religion and government separate) and Islamists; and between different religions and sects, such as Muslims and Christians in Egypt and Sunnis and Shiites in Syria.

The current turmoil has left many Arab activists disillusioned. This is increasingly the case in Syria, where an originally peaceful pro-democratic uprising has evolved into a sectarian civil war, with extremist fighters--some tied to terrorist groups like Al Qaeda, which carried out the 9/11 terrorist attacks--playing an increasing role on the battlefield.”

Consequences

Ignoring the violence can lead to many deaths, and even torture of innocent Syrians. It is likely that there would be war and many disputes between groups for territorial issues to figure out that the dominant religion of Syria. Also, having missionaries and a strict law system might result in even more violent rebellions.

“These killings barely nudged the daily toll from Syria's civil war, a war that has warped into bloody attrition between the majority Sunni and better-armed Shia Muslims. Yet they generated unusual outrage. Neither victim had played a role in Syria's fighting. One was a Sunni, the other Shia. Both were killed not just by members of their own sects but by groups posing as their most zealous guardians. The killers in both cases saw themselves as punishing traitors to the faith.”
