The Syrian Democratic Council was established in December 9, 2015 after the Democratic Society Movement (TEV-DEM) called for holding a conference for the Syrian opposition under the slogan, "Together towards Building a Free and Democratic Syria." The establishment of the Syrian Democratic Council coincided with al-Riyadh Conference in Saudi Arabia for the groups that call themselves the Syrian opposition which emerged from a supreme body to negotiate with the regime in Syria in order to reach a peaceful political solution to the Syrian issue which has been ongoing for five years.

At the end of the conference, the establishment of a new political body named the Syrian Democratic Council (MSD) was announced, as the political paper adopted at the conference stated that the Syrian Democratic Council is a Syrian democratic, national and political project that works to include all the social components and political entities in this crucial stage.

The organizational structure of MSD

The organizational structure of MSD consists of several bodies and committees, the most prominent of which is the presidential body which consists of 13 to 15 members. In addition to the joint presidency, the presidential body serves as the executive leadership body for MSD work Syria and follows up the decisions of its conferences and political bodies.

It is elected by the political body for a one-year session. It is accountable to the political body and the general assembly of the council. It meets every 15 days at least or whenever the need. Two Vice-Presidents of the Joint Presidency must be elected by the members of the Presidency who assume the functions of the Joint Presidency in the event of their absence and inability to attend.

The achievements of the council during the previous years

MSD was able, after two years of continuous work, to achieve great achievements. The council was able to hold several meetings inside and outside the country, through which the council reached some objectives for the peace process within the Syrian cities. Most notably al-Raqqa Civil Council, al-Tabqa Council, Manbij Council and Deir ez-Zor Civil Council, as these councils were able to rehabilitate the cities that were almost completely destroyed by IS mercenaries while the councils provided all the potential services, medical and other services to the people of North Syria.

MSD is preparing to hold its 3rd ordinary conference to be able to reorganize the council's structure to include all areas of the north of Syria and to provide better aid to the people of northern Syria.
