The authors consider possible solution to the international commercial obligations of Syria, especially its external debt, should Syrian President Bashar Hafez al-Assad fall. The authors share that aside from the successor government having to address issues such as making the country safer, it will also have to deal with the external debt which is close to nine billion dollars. The decision of the Syrian National Council is also cited.
