Constitutional Declaration of the Syrian Arab Republic (Arabic: الإعلان الدستوري للجمهورية العربية السورية), also known as 2025 Interim Constitution of Syria, is the current provisional constitution of Syria, approved by President Ahmed al-Sharaa. It establishes the constitutional framework for a five-year transition period.
After the fall of the Assad regime, Hassan Abdul Ghani, spokesman for the Military Operations Command, announced the repeal of the 2012 Ba'athist Syrian constitution. Al-Sharaa then declared that he would issue a "constitutional declaration" as a legal framework until a new constitution was established.
On 2 March 2025, he formed a committee to draft a new constitutional declaration to oversee the country's transition, and on 13 March, he signed the constitutional declaration, which will remain valid for five years.
The constitutional reform occurred amid ongoing instability, including threats of territorial fragmentation from pro-Assad remnants, Druze militias, an Israeli military invasion, sectarian tensions and massacres in Alawite-populated regions and remaining international sanctions on Syria.
