While SAARC does not always grant a formal "Ambassador of Peace" award every year, several regional organizations and cultural initiatives recognized individuals for this role in 2017:
In conclusion, the "SAARC Ambassador of Peace" award of 2017 was a landmark moment that celebrated the convergence of art and activism. By honoring Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, the SAARC community championed the idea that peace is not merely the absence of war, but the presence of justice, dialogue, and awareness. Her work continues to remind the region that while political boundaries may divide nations, the human experience—and the fight for dignity—remains a shared journey. Through such recognitions, SAARC strengthens its core ethos: that the people of South Asia are bound together by a common destiny and a shared dream of harmony.
