Syrian President Bashar al-Assad issued Thursday a Legislative Decrees on both Parties Law and General Election Law.

"The draft legislation was aimed at enriching political life, creating a new dynamic and allowing for a change in political power," SANA reported.

"The bill stipulates the essential objectives and principles governing the activities of parties, conditions for their establishment ... and rules relating to their financing, their rights and their obligations," SANA said.

The law prohibits parties founded on the basis "of religion, tribal affiliation, regional interests; professional organizations as well as parties which discriminate on the basis of race, sex or color."

The Syrian government adopted a draft law on multiple political organizations last month.
