Dubai: Dubai is set to host the world’s largest summit focused on justice, love, and peace and unite one million global peacekeepers, organisers of the summit have announced.
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 and 13.
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 held under the patronage of Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan, Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, who will also be the Chief Guest.
Announcing the launch of the summit, Dr Huzaifa Khorakiwala, chairman of the I am Peacekeeper Movement, highlighted the vision of the summit which expects 2,800 peacekeepers to attend it.
“Our goal is to bring together global visionaries on a common platform to cultivate a world driven by justice, love, and peace,” he said.
Dr Khorakiwala said the 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 President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.”
He said the annual summit will continue to be hosted in Dubai every year, strengthening its role as a global hub for peacekeeping and equal rights advocacy.
Recognising global impact makers
The summit will also feature the Global Recognitions and Awards honoring 28 distinguished individuals and organizations for their exceptional contributions to justice, equality, compassion, and peace.
These honourees 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: Champion Judge of Judges, Excellence in Human Rights Advocacy, Gender Equality Champion, World Woman-in-Law, Exceptional Public Service in Law, Outstanding Pro Bono Service in Law, Global Innovative Legal Practice

The awards recognise individuals from various sectors, including politics, law, education, activism, media, healthcare, technology, sports, entertainment, and environmental advocacy.
Launch of “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, organisations, and communities worldwide to take actionable steps toward peace, reconciliation, and justice.
