Dubai is set to host the world’s largest summit focused on justice, love, and peace, welcoming over 2,800 peacekeepers from across the globe.

The Global Justice, Love & Peace Summit, themed “One Planet, One Voice: Global Justice, Love and Peace,” will take place at the Dubai Exhibition Centre (DEC), Expo City, Dubai, on April 12-13, 2025.

Organised by the I am Peacekeeper Movement, the landmark event will feature an extraordinary lineup of 72 renowned speakers, including 10 Nobel Laureates, global thought leaders, policymakers, entrepreneurs, cultural icons, sports champions, and advocates of peace and justice.

The summit will be under the patronage of Sheikh Nahayan  Mabarak Al Nahayan, Cabinet Member, Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, who will also be the Chief Guest.

Announcing the launch of the Global Justice, Love & Peace Summit on February 3, 2025, Dr Huzaifa Khorakiwala, Chairman of the I am Peacekeeper Movement, emphasised the summit’s vision:

“Our goal is to bring together global visionaries on a common platform to cultivate a world driven by justice, love, and peace. Under the powerful theme ‘One Planet, One Voice: Global Justice, Love & Peace’ and 28 Peace Gems, this epoch-making summit will unite global influencers and leaders with the shared mission of fostering universal harmony.”

Dubai was strategically chosen as the host city due to its reputation as an oasis of peace and tolerance. The UAE is one of the few nations to have established government ministries dedicated to tolerance and happiness, making it the perfect venue to nurture initiatives aimed at global harmony. Significantly, the launch of the Summit also coincides with the declaration of 2025 as the Year of Community by the UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

This annual summit will continue to be hosted in Dubai every year, strengthening its role as a global hub for peacekeeping and equal rights advocacy.

 Global Impact Makers

The summit will also feature the Global Recognitions and Awards honoring 28 distinguished individuals and organisations for their exceptional contributions to justice, equality, compassion, and peace. These honorees are selected from 84 nominated personalities through a rigorous non-biased, merit-based evaluation conducted by an independent 28-member Awards Research Committee representing 28 countries.

The awards span three major categories: Justice Awards, Love Awards and Peace Awards.

The three main awards are divided into 7 sub-categories.

These prestigious awards recognize individuals from various sectors, including politics, law, education, activism, media, healthcare, technology, sports, entertainment, and environmental advocacy.

 ‘I Am Peacekeeper’ Movement

A key highlight of the summit will be the launch of the “I Am Peacekeeper” movement, a global initiative aiming to unite 1 million peacekeepers by September 21, 2025.

“Peacekeepers are volunteers committed to world peace, universal harmony, and justice,” said Dr Khorakiwala.

The movement will engage individuals, organizations, and communities worldwide to take actionable steps toward peace, reconciliation, and justice.
