We work for dialogue and peaceful conflict resolution.

The MENA region is characterized by complex geopolitical relationships, volatile stability and dynamic challenges. We believe that, therefore, any initiative on conflict resolution and dialogue needs to be informed by thorough interdisciplinary analysis of states, including their societies and their regional context, and by legal and constitutional expertise. These are the crafts that ZENITH COUNCIL seeks to combine.
