His Royal Highness Prince El Hassan bin Talal of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan

Founder and Director of the Hashemite Aid and Relief Agency, Centre for Educational Development, and the Institute for Diplomacy, and President of the Club of Rome

His Royal Highness is the youngest son of King Talal bin Abdullah and Queen Zein El Sharaf, and the younger brother of His Late Majesty King Hussein. His family is directly descended from the Prophet Muhammad and is the forty-second generation.

Prince Hassan graduated from Oxford University with a B.A. (Hon.) and M.A. in Oriental Studies. His Royal Highness has also been awarded numerous honorary doctorates from notable institutions worldwide.


Prince Hassan served as His Majesty King Hussein's closest political advisor, confidante, and deputy, as well as acting as Regent in the King's absence from the country.

He is the President of the Club of Rome. He has initiated, founded and is actively involved in a number of Jordanian and international institutes and committees. In Jordan, he established and now directs the Islamic Scientific Academy; the Tri-annual Conferences on the History and Archeology of Jordan; the Hashemite Aid and Relief Agency; the Center for Educational Development; the Institute for Diplomacy; and most recently, the new Al al-Bait University in Mafraq.

At the 36th Session of the United Nations in 1981, His Royal Highness proposed the establishment of the New International Humanitarian Order, which led to his being asked by the UN Secretary-General to found and co-chair the Independent Commission on International Humanitarian Issues (ICIHI). The final Report of the Commission was adopted as a resolution at the 42nd General Assembly.

[Layla]

coca cola,

Here is something I came across on the net re Princess Sarvath:

"On August 28th 1968, His Royal Highness married Her Royal Highness Princess Sarvath, who comes from a distinguished family of the Indian Subcontinent. Her late father, H.E. Mr. Mohammed Ikramullah worked closely with the founder of Pakistan, Mohammed Ali Janah, and was Pakistan's first Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and many times an Ambassador. Her Royal Highness’s mother, Begum Shaista Suhrawardy Ikramullah, is a writer and the first female Member of Parliament in Pakistan, as well as an Ambassador. Moreover, Princess Sarvath's paternal uncle was Vice-President of India, and her maternal uncle was Prime Minister of Pakistan. Their Royal Highnesses have four children: Princess Rahma (b. 13 August 1969), Princess Sumaya (b. 14 May 1971), Princess Badiya (b. 28 March 1974), and Prince Rashid (b. 20 May 1979)."

Another question would be: does she perceived herself as part of the Jordanian culture..If you noticed, she is almost always in her SARI, the pakistani/hindi style of outfits? i am not saying she should forget about her own culture...but maybe she could also integrate some of her husband's

hmm...that's right humble...

i've only seen one picture of her in a traditional thobe (on prince hassan's website)...

it must be difficult for her to merge both cultures...

 

[Laila]

she does not have to wear the the jordanian thob. We in jordan like her style and prefer that she keeps wearing Sari, and would not be happy if she changed it. she respects her culture and we respect her for that.

i dont know about the values of other cultures related to that, but in Jordan one of our values is being faithful to our culture and being proud of it, .. to who we are, our families, and to every thing we originally belong to as well; so Jordanian woman for example does not change her name after marriage , and socially she still considered as a part of here original family not her husband's family , and the man is also still belonging to his original family, not meaning that she or he is separate from one another family, which is also considered as a second family, so P.Sarvath is considerd Pakistanian as well as Jordanian too.

P.Sarvath wearing of Sari meets with our cultural values and represents another value and feature of Jordan which is Diversity, and we always work to keep this Diversity forming the face of Jordan.

And for P. Hassan I think he carries the same values, and may be he encouraged her to wear her traditional dress.

Petra spelled her name wrong..they make mistakes with spelling/grammer all the time. Also, Sarvath might be pronounced differently in Arabic, in Urdu (Pakistan's national language) it would be pronounced exactly as it is spelled.

They are one and the same person ! Sarvath or Servet or Sarwat are the Urdu/Turkish/Farsi way of pronouncing Tharwa in Arabic. The same letter that is pronounced 's' in the first three languages is 'th' in Arabic. And the last 't' or 'th' is not pronounced at all in Arabic, in any way. Complicated. That is probably why some people think P. Hassan has been married twice, but actually it is only once, to the same lady, for almost thirty six years. It is one of the pecularities I have noticed about the Jordanian Arabic press when writing in English, is that they persist in using their own pronunciations and spellings of various names, even if the owner of the name uses a different pronunciation or spelling his or herself. This can also been seen in Jordan in street names when it is quite difficult sometimes to recognise whom a street is named for. Other countries are sometimes also guilty of this failing. The 'Times' newspaper of London always referred to the late king as Husayn even though he always spelt his name Hussein in English.

[Sean.~]

Has this recent article on Hassan's (inappropriate, imo) comments about the mental faculties of the American President been posted on the group yet? If so, I apologize for re-posting it. Although amussing, I don't think it was wise of him to make this kind of commentary, especially since the the US is his nephew's (and his late brother's) benefactor. I have my theory as to why he made the comments now. I'm just interested in hearing what others think. Here's the article:



"Jordanian prince requests Bush brain viewing

Reuters
South Africa, October 4

A prominent member of Jordan's ruling royal family has used a trip to
France to take issue with the official US attitude to his country and
to question US President George W Bush's mental capacities.

"We need respect, intellectual tolerance, Mr President of the United
States, of a meeting of minds...and if you actually have one, I'd
like to see it," Prince Hassan bin Talal said.

The prince, an uncle to Jordan's King Abdullah II and an active
member of intercultural committees, spoke at an international
geography festival in eastern France.

He was invited to speak to the event along with a former Israeli
ambassador, Elie Barnavi.

Prince Hassan accuses the Bush administration of "wanting to treat us
like they own us".

Jordan is seen in the US as a key ally in promoting the US vision for
Israel and for Iraq.

Mr Bush is fighting for re-election on November 2 largely on the way
he carried out the US invasion and occupation of Iraq. "

Prince Hassan Addresses European Audiences

AMMAN (JT) — His Royal Highness Prince Hassan recently returned from a working trip in Europe where he conducted rounds of discussions and lectures on various topics to varied audiences.

In Berlin, the Prince, who was invited by the German government to talk on 'Terrorism: The Grey War,' emphasised that the current failure of security policies in dealing with terrorist attacks is symptomatic of growing global divisions.

In Holland, Prince Hassan addressed a large audience at the Leiden University on the subject of 'Borders: The Limits of Humanity,' drawing attention to the growing schism between the general public view and that of the authorities.

As president of the Club of Rome — a global think tank — Prince Hassan attended the annual meeting in Helsinki, Finland, to discuss 'The Limits to Ignorance: The Challenge of Informed Humanity.'

During all Prince Hassan's meetings, there was a general agreement amongst the club members regarding the role of the human element in development.

Throughout all his deliberations, the Prince emphasised that fighting ignorance is a global responsibility and the importance of taking into consideration 'anthropolitics,' — i.e. politics where people matter — which can only be sustainable when social development and human welfare become a major priority of national politics

Prince Hassan concluded his trip in Vienna by addressing the 'Bruno Kreisky Forum for International Dialogue' as well as the national coordinators of a 'Global Marshall Plan Initiative.'

This initiative, inspired by the Club of Rome spirit, presents a framework for dealing with the issues of poverty and related problems that constitute the contemporary major challenges facing human society.

President of Austria Heinz Fischer also awarded Prince Hassan 'The Grand Decoration of Honour' for services rendered to the Republic of Austria.

His Royal Highness Prince El Hassan bin Talal of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan

This is interesting Safaa. I wonder where it is from exactly. I find it strange though that this description of P. Hassan totally omits mentioning that he was Crown Prince for 34 years, and was the architect of much of modern Jordan, through the development plans that he supervised. I also find it strange which of his institutions it chooses to mention, leaving out the the RSS, HCST, the Badia Programme, the Arab Thought Forum and the Royal Institute for Interfaith Studies. Very odd.

Club of Rome

Prince Hassan named head of Club of Rome

By Francesca Sawalha

AMMAN — HRH Prince Hassan was appointed on Tuesday as president of the international think-tank the Club of Rome at a ceremony in Madrid under the patronage of Spain's King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia.

The king congratulated the members of the Club on their “excellent choice,” saying that Prince Hassan's appointment was a confirmation of his “vision as a peacemaker and a great intellect, representing all parts of the world, especially the region of your ancestors.”

Prince Hassan replaces Ricardo Diez-Hochleitner, Spain's media mogul who has been heading the Club since 1991.

“I am delighted that Prince Hassan, whom I hold in high esteem as a long time colleague and friend, will lead this immensely important and prestigious organization into a new era,” said Diez-Hochleitner, also an intellectual and the founder of the Santillana Foundation.

“He (Prince Hassan) is a statesman, an intellectual, a promoter of human dignity and a peacemaker,” he told the Club's meeting on Tuesday.

The prestigious group, best known for its groundbreaking work on sustainable development and growth in the 1970s, also announced in a press statement yesterday that, for the first time in its 32-year history, it appointed two vice presidents: Alicia Barcena from Mexico and Eberhard von Koerber from Switzerland. Barcena's career within the UN and the NGO sector has focused on public policies for sustainable development, while von Koerber is a prominent public sector representative.

“The Club of Rome and its members have no dogma — we believe in the `power of ideas' and in the concept of `think globally, and act locally',” Diez-Hochleitner said.

“I thank Ricardo for his attention to continuity, innovation and change,” replied Prince Hassan, upon becoming the fourth president in the Club's history.

“Over the last three decades, the Club of Rome established an interactive conversation with 25 chapters around the world working to encourage the contribution of a cross-section of the world's societies towards a universalisation of values. Our interest is to contribute to international and humanitarian concerns.”

The executive committee meeting on Tuesday was held in Madrid on the sidelines of a Santillana conference called “The 15th Monographic Week” to discuss “Learning for the Future: Education in Favour of Human Dignity,” the opening session of which was chaired by Prince Hassan.

The Prince anticipated that his presidency intended to take the Club one step forward, from its focus on world “problematique” to concentrating on problem-solving.

So far, the Club of Rome's mission has been to contribute to what it calls the “world problematique,” the complex set of crucial problems — political, social, economic, technological, environmental, psychological and cultural — facing mankind.

“Now is the time to talk to each other and move from the world problematique to the world of problem solving,” Prince Hassan told the executive council meeting.

“I propose that along with long-term thinking, the members of the Club of Rome consider the many `what if?' scenarios. The intent here is to build bridges between the physical environment and the human environment,” the Prince said.

“Today, one cannot make major predictions in a fast-changing world. There must be an inter-regional and extra-regional discussion and problem solving thrust,” he added.

The Club of Rome is best known for its 1972 report “The Limits to Growth.” The work of a group of MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) scientists targeted to a non-specialist audience, the publication predicted dire consequences to unchecked economic and population growth.

More than 12 million copies have since been sold in 27 languages, while the book was discussed in hundreds of seminars, roundtables, newspaper articles, radio and television programmes.

“Quite wrongly, the report tended to be perceived as presenting an inescapable scenario for the future, and the Club was assumed to be in favour of zero economic growth,” says the Club's information sheet.

“In fact, the projection of trends and the analysis of their cross impacts were intended to highlight the risks of a blind pursuit of growth in the industrialized countries, and to induce changes in prevailing attitudes and policies so that the projected consequences should not materialize.”

As a non-profit, non-governmental organization, the Club of Rome brings together scientists, economists, businessmen, international high level civil servants, heads of state and former heads of state from all over the world.

It works on global issues related to the environment, demography, development, ethical values and governance, society in the age of information technology and education.

Our president. He had no right saying that.

Anyway Princess Sarvath looks like a nice woman. ANd, altough I totally am disappointed at him for saying that unrighteous stuff, I don't think those accusations against him and Sarvath (the letter that KH gave b/f his death) were founded. I think generally he and his wife are nice ppl, but evidently not perfect.

 

[Humera]

Our president. He had no right saying that.

disagreeing with the president may not be "allowed" in the US but Prince Hassan isnt American. He is entitled to his opinion, just like everyone.
