World leaders, nobel laureates, and peace advocates unite in UAE for Global Justice, Love & Peace Summit

Khaleej Times18-04-2025
In a historic moment that brought together the world's most inspiring changemakers, the Global Justice, Love & Peace Summit took center stage at Expo City, UAE, on April 12 and 13, 2025. With the powerful theme 'One Planet, One Voice: Global Justice, Love and Peace,' the summit witnessed an extraordinary gathering of 12 Nobel Peace Prize laureates, international diplomats, human rights defenders, and peace advocates from across the globe.
This year's summit was more than a series of speeches — it was a call to action, a platform for voices demanding justice, equality, and peace in a rapidly changing world. From war-torn regions to global classrooms, the summit's message resonated loud and clear: unity and justice are essential tools for building a better tomorrow.
Among the distinguished Nobel Laureates in attendance were Lech Wałęsa (Poland), Kailash Satyarthi (India), Nadia Murad (Iraq), Shirin Ebadi (Iran), Leymah Gbowee (Liberia), Ouided Bouchamaoui, Prof. Mohan Munasinghe (Sri Lanka), Housine Abbasi, and Mohamed Fadhel Mahfoudh (Tunisia). Each brought powerful stories of courage, struggle, and transformation, united by a shared mission to foster a world grounded in peace, dialogue, and fairness.
A key highlight of the summit was the launch of the Peace Charter: Love Letter to Humanity — a landmark document that encapsulates core values such as equality, education, freedom, and the power of togetherness. The Charter was passionately endorsed by all delegates, envisioned as a guiding light not just for governments, but for individuals and communities worldwide.
The UAE, a nation recognised for its commitment to tolerance and unity, proudly hosted this global milestone. Dubai's Expo City transformed into a beacon of hope, where cultures and nations came together not as separate entities, but as one global family advocating for peace.
The summit was honored by the presence of esteemed personalities including Dr Ali Rashid Al Nuaimi, UAE Parliamentarian and Chair of the Federal National Council's Defense, Interior & Foreign Affairs Committee, who shared insights on the UAE's diplomatic vision for a peaceful world.
Bringing deep intellect and heart to the event, Ameenah Gurib-Fakim, former president of Mauritius, moderated insightful sessions. From India, a strong delegation made a meaningful impact: Chandra Kumar Bose (Socio-political activist and Convenor), Dr Vishwanath Karad (Founder, MIT World Peace University), and Dr Ahmed Haque, a renowned peace activist and delegate, all lent powerful voices to the cause of global harmony and justice.

Syria deploys troops to Suwayda as tribal clashes leave at least 30 dead

At least 30 people have been killed and 100 injured in armed clashes between Bedouin tribes and local fighters in the predominantly Druze city of Suwayda in southern Syria, the Interior Ministry said early on Monday. The ministry expressed 'deep concern and sorrow over the bloody developments'. 'This dangerous escalation comes amid an absence of relevant official institutions which has led to an exacerbation of chaos, a deterioration in the security situation and an inability of the local community to contain the crisis,' it added. The ministry said government forces would be sent to the region to stop the clashes and assess the situation, calling on all parties to co-operate. Bedouin and Druze factions have a longstanding feud in Suwayda, with violence occasionally erupting between the two. The latest clashes are the first outbreak of violence since deadly clashes between members of the Druze community and security forces in April and May, in which dozens of people were killed. However, this is the first time fighting has erupted inside the city of Suwayda. Since the collapse of the former regime under Bashar Al Assad last December, concerns have been raised over the rights and safety of minorities under the new Islamist authorities, who have struggled to re-establish security more broadly. In March, more than 1,000 people, including many civilians, were killed in fighting between fighters loyal to the former regime and government forces in the coastal provinces of Tartus and Latakia. These are strongholds of the Alawite minority group, to which the Assad family belongs.
