A pluralist, believing in consensus and respect for the other, His Royal Highness Prince El Hassan bin Talal believes in societies in which all peoples can live, work and function in freedom and with dignity.  This goal has been the moving force behind his interest and involvement in humanitarian and interfaith issues, with particular stress on the human dimension of conflicts.  His Royal Highness has initiated, founded and is actively involved in a large number of Jordanian and international institutes and committees.

His Royal Highness is a founding member of the Parliament of Cultures which was established in Istanbul in July last year, the purpose of which is to promote understanding among cultures of the world and to enhance dialogue among their thinkers and intellectuals.  On his call for humanitarian and cultural outreach, His Royal Highness is currently working with American Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) on a programme called Partners in Humanity with the aim to carry out a series of activities that serve to improve understanding and build positive relationships between the Muslim world and the United States. 

Prince El Hassan is the author of eight books:  A Study on Jerusalem (1979) (English); Palestinian Self-Determination (1981) (English; Arabic); Search for Peace (1984) (English; Arabic); Christianity in the Arab World (1994) (English; Arabic; French; Greek; Spanish; Russian; German); Essere Musulmano – Co-author (2001) (Italian; French and Spanish); Continuity, Innovation and Change: Selected Essays (2001) (English) ; In Memory of Faisal I:  The Iraqi Question (2003) (Arabic) and Q & A: Contemporary Issues (2003) (Arabic), To Be A Muslim: Islam, Peace and Democracy (2003).
