His Royal Highness Prince El Hassan bin Talal, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Royal Institute For Inter-Faith Studies, has called for a joint effort to revive common ethics based on human solidarity and promote the concepts of pluralism, and acceptance and respect for others.

In a recent virtual seminar on the 'Ethics of Human Solidarity', Prince El Hassan said that in order to live in peace and harmony, all acts that lead to destruction and spread of hatred must be rejected.

'We all agree on our need for ethical solidarity, as indicated by His Holiness the Pope in his recent message on fraternity and social friendship,' HRH stressed during the virtual meeting which dealt with human values as the mover of human solidarity ethics.

His Highness indicated that the tragic events taking place around the world 'should not make us doubt the value of religion and faith, but rather they should remind us of their [religion and faith] important role in reaffirming the sanctity of the life of every human being'.

Addressing interfaith dialogue, Prince El Hassan stressed the importance of being able to communicate with people, saying: 'Interfaith solidarity needs practical and concrete policies that enhance human dignity and the desired growth and development.'

His Highness underlined the need to promote social responsibility and the role of communication, media and civil society institutions as forces of positive change that brings people closer together, increases awareness and disseminates knowledge.

He also underscored the necessity of cultural rapprochement, building trust and empowerment for the sake of inclusive citizenship.

Prince El Hassan noted the importance of 'humanizing' numbers and the planning an approach that is based on a clear vision in order to prevent and alleviate the suffering of vulnerable groups.

In this context, he called for building a global humanitarian system to deal with the migration and forced displacement which people suffer from all over the globe; a system, he stressed, that 'activates the international humanitarian law to become a law that applies to internal and external peace and has tangible effects on our world today and tomorrow'.

The Zoom-powered meeting was moderated by Nayla Tabbara, vice chair of Adyan Foundation in Lebanon, who stressed the importance of the values of brotherhood, solidarity and cooperation, and noted the necessity of sustaining these values in human life.

The participants called for solidarity and mutual support, especially in times of crisis, and managing matters wisely and assisting vulnerable and marginalized groups.

The meeting also discussed the importance of having serious, deep and effective dialogues based on clear foundations, rules and facts, emphasizing the role civil society institutions can play toward achieving human fraternity and social solidarity.

Representatives from the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, the Pontifical Council for Culture at the Vatican, members of the Higher Committee of Human Fraternity, Al-Azhar University, and a number of academics and Muslim and Christian clerics from Jordan and the Arab world participated in the meeting.
