Dubai is set to host the world’s largest peace and justice summit, the Global Justice, Love & Peace Summit 2025, at the Dubai Exhibition Centre (DEC), Expo City, Dubai on April 12-13, 2025. Organized by the I Am Peacekeeper Movement, this high-profile event will bring together over 2,800 peacekeepers and 72 distinguished speakers, including 10 Nobel Laureates, policymakers, entrepreneurs, cultural icons, and human rights advocates. The summit underscores Dubai’s commitment to global peace initiatives and reinforces its status as a leading destination for major international events.

Under the patronage of H.E Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan, UAE Cabinet Member and Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, the summit will convene some of the world’s most influential figures to discuss policies and initiatives aimed at fostering justice, love, and peace.

Strengthening Dubai’s Position as a Global MICE Destination

Dubai’s role as the host city for this prestigious summit aligns with its growing prominence as a global hub for MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) tourism. Expo City Dubai, known for hosting Expo 2020, provides an ideal venue with world-class infrastructure, seamless connectivity, and sustainable facilities, ensuring a compelling experience for international delegates.

The summit is expected to generate significant inbound travel, attracting a diverse audience from political, legal, academic, business, sports, and cultural spheres. The event will boost Dubai’s hospitality sector, driving increased occupancy in luxury hotels, convention centers, and associated tourism services. With the UAE’s strategic location as a gateway between East and West, the summit further solidifies the emirate’s role in fostering global dialogue on peace and justice.

Theme and Key Objectives: “One Planet, One Voice”

The summit’s central theme, “One Planet, One Voice: Global Justice, Love & Peace,” aims to bring together diverse perspectives to cultivate a world driven by shared values of justice, equality, and reconciliation.

The 28 Peace Gems Initiative, a key highlight, will serve as a guiding framework to foster universal harmony by promoting seven essential human values: gratitude, forgiveness, love, humility, giving, patience, and truth. These values will be integrated into discussions, workshops, and strategic partnerships formed during the event.

Global Recognitions and Awards

One of the most anticipated elements of the summit is the Global Recognitions and Awards, which will honor 28 distinguished individuals and organizations for their outstanding contributions to justice, equality, peace, and humanitarian efforts. Selected from a pool of 84 nominees, award recipients will undergo a merit-based selection process led by a 28-member Awards Research Committee representing 28 countries.

The awards will be categorized under three key pillars:

Justice: Recognizing achievements in law, politics, education, and human rights.
Love: Honoring contributions in healthcare, social services, and cultural diplomacy.
Peace: Acknowledging efforts in environmental sustainability, sports, media, and global advocacy.

This initiative reinforces the summit’s commitment to acknowledging impactful changemakers across industries and promoting a culture of ethical leadership and social responsibility.

Launch of “I Am Peacekeeper” Movement

A major milestone of the Global Justice, Love & Peace Summit 2025 will be the launch of the “I Am Peacekeeper” movement, an ambitious initiative aimed at uniting 1 million peacekeepers worldwide by September 21, 2025 (International Day of Peace). The movement seeks to mobilize individuals committed to global reconciliation and harmony through community engagement, policy advocacy, and grassroots initiatives.

According to Dr. Huzaifa Khorakiwala, Chairman of the I Am Peacekeeper Movement, the initiative is designed to empower volunteers as peace ambassadors, fostering sustainable peacebuilding efforts on a global scale. The movement will work closely with governments, NGOs, and international bodies to implement actionable strategies for conflict resolution and social justice.

The Impact on International Travel and Tourism

The Global Justice, Love & Peace Summit 2025 is set to drive significant inbound tourism, particularly within the MICE sector, as attendees from across the globe converge on Dubai. The event is expected to generate substantial economic benefits, stimulating demand for:

Luxury and business hotels catering to high-profile attendees.
Conference and event venues offering premium hospitality services.
Cultural and heritage tourism, with delegates extending their stay to explore Dubai’s attractions.
Airline and transportation services, boosting international arrivals and regional connectivity.

Special Networking and Business Engagement

Recognizing the importance of fostering collaborations and strategic partnerships, the summit will feature a dedicated networking segment facilitating face-to-face meetings among policymakers, business leaders, and peace advocates. This initiative aims to enhance cross-sector dialogue, driving forward innovative solutions for global justice and peace initiatives.

With Dubai poised to host this annual event, the Global Justice, Love & Peace Summit is expected to serve as a cornerstone for international diplomacy and sustainable development in the coming years. The city’s strategic investment in MICE tourism and cultural diplomacy continues to reinforce its stature as a global hub for transformative discussions and impactful policymaking.

Dubai’s hosting of the Global Justice, Love & Peace Summit 2025 marks a defining moment in the realm of international diplomacy and sustainable peacebuilding. The summit will not only enhance Dubai’s reputation as a premier MICE destination but also set the stage for long-term global collaborations focused on justice, harmony, and universal human values.
