As a newly established think tank based in Dubai, we believe that for far too long, our narrative as a region has been told for us, and not by us.
It’s time to change that. It’s time for the Middle East to have an opinion about the world.

Earlier this month, the US moved to sanction the ICC as an institution, marking a significant escalation. In Fiker Institute’s latest Explainer, Dr Kyle Reed highlights how the US’ sanctions reflect the country’s longstanding approach to global accountability mechanisms.
