The Centre further believes that conflicts can be prevented more effectively through engagement and dialogue than through sanctions, containment, or the threat of force.
The Centre initiates and encourages dialogue on political, social, economic, and religious issues of global and regional concern, between individuals and organisations.
The Centre has organised numerous events to facilitate discussion between individuals, academics, theologians, diplomats and world leaders.
Some of the topics of these conferences and events have been Political Islam and the West, Iran in the Twenty First Century, Children's Rights and Wrongs and The Future of Iraq.
