What You Need to Know - An Eastern Approach to Human Rights

 

Where was the summit held?

The First International Summit on Human Rights: An Eastern Approach took place from April 27 to 29, 2025, across three cities in Iran: Tehran, Qom, and Isfahan.  

 

Who participated?

Representatives from over 20 countries attended, including Afghanistan, Armenia, Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Malaysia, Nigeria, Lebanon, Pakistan, Palestine, Russia, Tunisia, Türkiye, South Africa, South Korea, Uganda, and the Islamic Republic of Iran.

 

What was this summit about?

Leaders and scholars from these nations gathered to explore a new way of discussing human rights—one rooted in justice, dignity, and cultural values, not just Western politics.

 

Why does it matter?

Because the current global system is full of double standards, political bias, and selective outrage. The East offers a richer, fairer, and more ethical foundation based on thousands of years of cultural experience.

 

What did they agree on?

                •             Human rights must reflect people and cultures, not just laws.

                •             Global issues like Gaza show the failure of the West’s human rights model.

                •             We need solidarity, justice, and active cooperation between cultures.

 

Key proposals:

                1.            A permanent Eastern Human Rights Secretariat

                2.            New university programs to teach this Eastern perspective

                3.            Building institutions and legal tools based on these values

                4.            Hosting regular global summits and publishing findings

                5.            Drafting a universal human rights charter based on the East’s ethical traditions

 

Bottom Line:

This is a call to reclaim human rights from hypocrisy—and build a new, fairer world with Eastern ethics at the core.

 

The blood ����soaked rubble of Gaza didn’t just expose the West’s hypocrisy — it ripped the mask clean off, revealing a system built on lies, double standards, and selective humanity.

 

This summit is a small but defiant step away from the suffocating grip of Western domination.
