Organization
[
edit
]
The 1963 National Congress of the Party in Damascus advocated a far-left posture; proclaiming the party as the vehicle for
socialist revolution
and building a socialist society. Key Marxist programmes such as
worker's control
of
economic production
and
collectivizing
of agricultural lands were adopted.
[14]
The party is organized along
Leninist
lines, a policy stemming back to Aflaq and Bitar's leadership before the split.
[15]
The highest organ of the party is the Party Congress. The Congress elects a General Secretary and a National Command. Under the National Command there is a Regional Command for each state in which the party operates. The regions are divided into branches, which are divided into companies. A branch consists of two or more companies. A company comprises three to seven cells.
[16]
Each cell has between three and seven members.
[17]
In theory, the National Command of the party is the embryonic government for the entire Arab nation. The body comprises 21 members, half of whom are Syrian.
[15]
In practice, the Syrian Regional Command is the more powerful institution inside the party.
[18]
The Syrian Regional Command is the real political leadership in Syria; the power of the National Command has become more symbolic than real. A seat in National Command has become a sinecure, an honorary post given to Syrian politicians as they retire from active political life.
[17]
[19]
Hafez al-Assad rarely had time to attend National Command meetings. Instead, he appointed Vice President for Party Affairs
Zuhayr Masharqa
or
Abd al-Halim Khaddam
to represent him at National Command meetings.
[19]
In theory, the National Command could conduct proselytism and form new Regional Commands across the Arab world and support weaker Regional Commands, but Syrian policymakers have curtailed that capacity.
[17]

[20]
[21]
Prominent members of the party in Iraq include
Mahmud Rashad Al-Shaykh Radhi, Fawzi Mutlaq al-Rawi and Dr. Mahmud Shamsa.
[22]
The party opposed the rule of
Saddam Hussein
[23]
and was one of the first groups to be targeted by him. The party lost hundreds of its cadres amid repression by his government.
[24]
Radhi was based in Syria during the 1970s.
[25]
The party labelled the Saddam government as "
fascist
".
[20]
When the
Iran?Iraq War
broke out in 1980, the party took part in the formation of the Iraqi Patriotic and Democratic Front, together with the
Iraqi Communist Party
, the
Patriotic Union of Kurdistan
and the Kurdish Socialist Party. The front vowed to overthrow Saddam.
[26]
(Syria supported Iran in the Iraq-Iran War.)
In the 1980s, the party began cooperating with the
Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq
.
[24]
The party organized the first general conference of Iraqi opposition groups in Damascus in 1989. It also participated in a conference of Iraqi opposition groups in Beirut in 1991.
[21]
In 1999, Radhi was staying in the
United Kingdom
.
[27]
The party was one of three main groups (along with the Iraqi Communist Party and the
Islamic Dawa Party
) which formed the Coalition of Iraqi National Forces. The Coalition was opposed to Saddam Hussein as well as United States military intervention.
[28]
During the run-up to the
2003 invasion of Iraq
, the party publicly denounced U.S. involvement in the organization of Iraqi dissidents in exile.
[29]
After the fall of Saddam's administration, confusion arose as to whether the
de-Ba'athification
law also applied to the party.
[30]
In 2008, Radhi requested that the party be allowed to function inside Iraq and join the process of reconciliation.
[20]
In response, the Iraqi government declared that they viewed Qotr al-Iraq as distinct from Saddam's Ba'ath because Qotr al-Iraq had participated in the opposition conferences during the Saddam years.
[30]
As of 2009
[update]
, the Iraqi regional organization is still based in Syria.
[31]
In 2018 Radhi, based in London, visited Baghdad and met President
Fuad Masum
during reconciliation talks.
[32]
Jordan
[
edit
]
The Arab Ba'ath Progressive Party was legally registered for the first time in 1993. The branch is small, and has, according to a
leaked diplomatic cable
, a "minuscule number of adherents". Despite its small size, the branch is able through its leader, Fuad Dabbour, to get a decent footprint in Jordanian media. Dabbour's fiery statements on foreign policy are frequently quoted by the press.

Syria
[
edit

The party slogan "Unity, Freedom, Socialism" was enshrined in the Constitution of the Syrian Arab Republic.
[19]
The eighth article of the Constitution stipulated that "[t]he leading party in the society and the state is the ... Ba'ath Party. It leads the National Progressive Front seeking to unify the resources of the masses of the people and place them at the service of the goals of the Arab nation".
[9]
The Constitution was adopted in 1973.
[58]
As per the Constitution of the Syrian Arab Republic, it is the Regional Command of the party that nominates the candidate for president of the republic.
[7]
[59]
The Constitution does not explicitly say that the president has to be the leader of the party, but the National Progressive Front (NPF) charter states that president of the Syrian Arab Republic and the secretary of the party is also the president of the NPF.
[7]
The party has dominated the Syrian parliament since 1963.
[9]
The party leads the
National Progressive Front
and in all elections conducted under this constitution has obtained the majority of the 167 parliamentary seats reserved for the Front.
[59]
In the 2003 parliamentary election, the party secured 135 of the seats.
[9]
As of the mid-2000s, the party membership in Syria was estimated at 800,000. Key party organs in Syria are
Al-Ba'ath
and
Al-Thawra
.
[9]
Due to the party's focus on intellectuals and affluent elites, it failed to gain support from the economically weaker sections such as the urban workers and rural farmers. As a result, its support base was vastly limited to affluent merchant classes of
Damascus
and the
Alawite
clans in the North-Western coast.
[60]
The Syrian Regional Command has 21 members.
[17]
As of 1987, the Syrian Regional Command comprised the three vice presidents of the Syrian Arab Republic, the Prime Minister, the Minister of Defense, the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, the parliamentary speaker, the Aleppo and
Hama
party secretaries as well as the heads of the party bureaus for
trade unions
, economy and higher education.
[17]
The seventh Syrian regional party congress was held in January 1980. The congress created a new institution, the Central Committee, to act as an intermediary body between the Regional Command and local branches. The Central Committee had 75 members. The eighth regional congress decided to expand the Central Committee to 95 members. The Central Committee was charged with electing the Regional Command, which previously had been done by the regional congress delegates. The Central Committee represents the regional congress when the congress is not in session.
[17]
The party has 19 branches in Syria: one in each of the thirteen provinces: one in Damascus, one in Aleppo and one at each of the four universities.
[17]
In most cases, the governor of a province, police chief, mayor and other local dignitaries make up the Branch Command, but the Branch Command Secretary and other executive positions are filled by party whole-timers.
[

[17]
The Syrian regional party congress is held every four years. While it is a strictly orchestrated affair, the regional congress has been a venue for actual debates on current affairs. Criticism against corruption and economic stagnation were expressed at the 1985 regional congress, albeit candidly. This congress was attended by 771 branch delegates.
[61]
The party has a parallel structure within the Syrian armed forces. The military and civilian sectors only meet at the regional level, as the military sector is represented in the Regional Command and sends delegates to regional congresses. The military sector is divided into branches, operating at the battalion level. The head of a military party branch is called a
tawjihi
("guide").
[17]
The party has an Inspection and Control Committee, instituted in 1980.
[61]
The Party Security Law was passed in 1979, criminalizing "deviations" inside the party and attacks on the party.
[61]
The party has three bureaus for coordinating work in mass organizations: the Popular Organizations Bureau (coordinating the People's Army militia, the
Revolutionary Youth Union
, Students Union and the
General Union of Syrian Women
); the Workers Bureau (coordinating the
General Federation of Trade Unions
); and the Peasants Bureau (coordinating the Peasants Federation).
[62]
Children joined the Vanguards, an organization for grade-school boys and girls. Vanguards attended paramilitary summer camps operated by the armed forces. In the mid-1970s, the party ran a mass campaign for the mobilization of peasants into the Peasants Federation.
[63]
The party has its own system of political education, including the Higher Political Institute (a graduate school of the
University of Damascus
).
[63]
Abdul Halim Khaddam
resigned as National Command and Central Committee member in mid-2005.
[64]
Tunisia
[
edit
]
There is no formal structure linked to the Damascus-based Ba'ath Party. Most Ba'athists in
Tunisia
support the Iraqi faction as members of the
Ba'ath Movement
or the more leftist and radical the Party of the Arab and Democratic Vanguard. Only a small number of militants headed by Mohamed Salah Hermassi (a member of the Damascus-based National Command) are historically linked to
Damascus
.
[65]
Yemen
[
edit
]
Ba'athism in Yemen originated in the 1950s. The party worked underground until 1990. It obtained official registration as the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party ? Yemen Region on December 31, 1995 (while the other group had to register as the National Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party).
[

and
2003 parliamentary elections
, the party won two seats. In 2003, the party got 0.66% of the national vote. The party supported
Ali Abdullah Saleh
in the
1999 presidential election
.
[67]
Abdullah al-Ahmar led a central party delegation to the 4th Regional Congress of the Yemenite Ba'ath in 2006.
[68]
In December 2008, the party and the National Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party agreed to coordinate their political activities.
[31]

Ali Ahmad Nasser al-Dhahab
, died. He had been assistant secretary of the Regional Command and a Member of Parliament since 1993.
[69]
[70]

The period 1963 to 1970 when Asad finally succeeded was marked ideologically by uncertainty and even turbulence. It was a period of transition from the old nationalist politicians to the radical socialist Baathis.. struggle between 'moderates' and radicals was centred on the dispute whether to impose a radical left wing government and a social revolution on Syria or to follow a more moderate Arab unionist course which would possibly appease opponents of the Baath. The radicals largely held the upper hand and worked to strengthen the control of the party over the state.

Syrian Baathist version of Arab nationalism and socialism offered plenty of points of contact with Soviet policy.. when the left-wing Baathist faction led by Nureddin Atasi came to power, accelerated Syria's rapprochement with the Soviet Union.. for the USSR Syria remained an uneasy ally whose actions were beyond control, often unpredictable and the cause of complications. The ultra-leftist slogans originating from Damascus (such as a "people's war") were not received enthusiastically in Moscow. Mustafa Tlas, the new Syrian chief of staff, was a theoretician of guerrilla warfare and had even translated works by Che Guevara who was not particularly popular among the Soviet leaders."
