Dubai hosts world's largest peace summit featuring 12 Nobel laureates
The world's largest peace summit has opened at Expo City Dubai, bringing together leaders from across sectors for two days of powerful discussions aimed at building a more just and peaceful world.
The Global Justice, Love & Peace Summit features a rare and historic gathering of 12 Nobel Peace Prize laureates, along with royalty, heads of state, chief justices, business leaders, faith leaders, sports icons, and celebrities—all uniting under the theme: "One Planet, One Voice."
On Sunday, April 13, Dubai will make history as it hosts a special Nobel Laureates session, where the global peace icons will propose a bold vision for a new world order—one rooted in non-violence, truth and universal justice.
Ahead of the summit, former Polish President and Nobel Peace Prize winner Lech Wałęsa emphasized the urgent need for a global framework that promotes shared human values and peace, suggesting reforms to international governance to better reflect unity and justice.
The event is being held under the patronage of Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, UAE Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, who will deliver the keynote address on the summit's second day.
The summit was opened on Saturday by Dr. Ali Rashid Al Nuaimi, a leading parliamentarian and educator in the UAE, a member of the UAE Federal National Council and Chairman of the Defence Affairs, Interior & Foreign Affairs Committee at the Council.
The event will conclude with the proclamation of a 'Peace Charter: Love Letter to Humanity' as guiding principles of justice, love and peace, covering justice and equality, dialogue and cooperation, education and empowerment, freedom, leadership and responsibility.
