Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Thursday endorsed the multi-party and general election laws, as part of reforms announced by him of late to meet the Syrian people 's demands.
The multi-party law would allow other parties to compete with the ruling Baath party in any coming elections, while the election law would regulate the parliamentary and local council elections and ensure the safety of electoral process and the right of candidates to supervise the process.
The move comes at a time when the Syrian leadership is facing escalating international outcry over its alleged crackdown on protestors.
