Faiq Zidan is the president of the Supreme Judiciary Council of Iraq, appointed in 2017. A relatively stable senior figure in Iraq’s sometimes tumultuous political sphere, Faiq has cultivated a wide range of relationships with Iraqi politicians and international governments and is considered by some observers to be the leading power broker within the Iraqi government. Apart from Faiq’s steady position, Iraq’s judiciary has often been pivotal in arbitrating political crises, asserting boundaries over policy, and leading investigations into corruption.
