We are deeply honoured to announce that Professor Emeritus Datuk Osman Bakar, one of the Muslim world’s most respected intellectuals and a globally renowned scholar of philosophy, science, and inter-civilizational dialogue, has officially signed and endorsed this petition nominating Anwar Ibrahim and ASEAN for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.

Prof. Osman Bakar’s support reinforces the core conviction behind this campaign — that dialogue is the path to justice and peace, and that Anwar Ibrahim’s leadership embodies a unique moral and intellectual commitment to peacebuilding through understanding and reasoned discourse.

As a thought leader who has dedicated his life to bridging civilizations through knowledge and wisdom, Prof. Osman Bakar’s endorsement reflects the growing recognition among scholars, diplomats, and concerned global citizens that dialogical leadership — as exemplified by Anwar and institutionalized through ASEAN’s consensus-based diplomacy — must be celebrated and upheld in these divisive times.

We thank Professor Osman Bakar for his principled support and invite more voices of conscience, across disciplines and borders, to join this call for peace through dialogue.

👉 Sign, share, and let the world know: Justice and Peace can be achieved through Dialogue.
