United Nations special envoy Staffan de Mistura speaks at a Security Council meeting, Wednesday, Oct. 17, 2018 at U.N. headquarters. He said he will be making an intensive effort to get agreement on a committee to draft a new constitution for Syria before he steps down at the end of November. De Mistura announced he is departing for "purely, purely personal reasons" after four years and four months in one of the toughest U.N. jobs after telling the Security Council that objections by the Syrian government are still holding up the launch of the committee.
