The Geneva peace talks on Syria in 2017, also called the Geneva IV, V, VI, VII, & VIII talks, were peace negotiations between the Syrian government and the Syrian opposition under the auspices of the United Nations.[1] The Geneva IV talks took place between 23 February and 3 March 2017, trying to resolve the Syrian Civil War.[2] The Geneva VII talks began on 10 July 2017.[3] The Geneva VIII talks were initially scheduled to begin on 28 November 2017.[4]

The warring sides did not get to face-to-face negotiations, but for eight days no party walked away, while Russia talked with the parties separately.[5]
