Norway welcomes start of negotiations on new arms trade treaty
Norge ønsker forhandlingsstart om ny våpenhandelsavtale
“Every day 2 000 people are killed by armed violence.
- 2000 mennesker dør hver dag av væpnet vold.
The uncontrolled flow of weapons is a major reason for this,” said Foreign Minister Støre.
Den ukontrollerte flyten av våpen er en viktig årsak til dette, sier utenriksminister Støre.

“Irresponsible and illegal trade in arms costs many lives and causes great suffering every year.

On Monday 18 March, a new round of negotiations on trade in conventional arms (the Arms Trade Treaty) starts at the UN headquarters in New York.
Mandag 18. mars starter en ny forhandlingsrunde i FN i New York for å få til en internasjonal avtale om handel med konvensjonelle våpen (Arms Trade Treaty).
The negotiations will continue until 28 March.
Forhandlingskonferansen vil strekke seg frem til 28. mars.
The previous round of negotiations in July 2012 stranded due to a failure to reach agreement and the request by some parties, for example the US, for more time.
Forrige forhandlingsrunde i juli 2012 strandet på grunn av manglende enighet og anmodning om mer tid til forhandlinger, blant annet fra USAs side.
“The new round of negotiations may be the last one on this treaty under the auspices of the UN.
- Den nye forhandlingsrunden om en våpenhandelsavtale kan bli den siste i sitt slag i regi av FN.
A strong agreement will reduce the humanitarian consequences associated with irresponsible and illegal trade in weapons,” said Mr Eide.
En god avtale vil kunne redusere de humanitære konsekvensene forbundet med uansvarlig og ulovlig handel med våpen, sier utenriksminister Eide.
The negotiations will build on the progress made during the July conference.

The new treaty covers a wide range of conventional weapons, including ammunition and components of conventional weapons.
Den nye avtalen omfatter et bredt spekter av konvensjonelle våpen, inkludert ammunisjon og deler og komponenter til slike våpen.
“The treaty also includes important prohibitions and criteria relating to export licences, violations of international humanitarian law, international human rights, organised crime and terrorism in importing states,” Mr Eide said.
- Avtalen inneholder også viktige forbud og kriterier knyttet til eksportlisenser, brudd på internasjonal humanitærrett, internasjonale menneskerettigheter, organisert kriminalitet og terrorisme i importstatene, sier utenriksminister Eide.
“This represents an important new start for efforts to strengthen international norms and rules for the trade in weapons,” Mr Eide commented.

The Azerbaijani pro-democracy activist Rasul Jafarov was on Thursday sentenced to six and a half years' imprisonment.
Den aserbajdsjanske demokratiaktivisten Rasul Jafarov ble torsdag dømt til 6 1/2 års fengsel.
Mr Jafarov became internationally known through his 'Sing for Democracy' campaign, which he launched in connection with the final of the Eurovision Song Contest in Baku in 2012.
Jafarov ble internasjonalt kjent gjennom sitt initiativ "Sing for Democracy" i forbindelse med finalen i Eurovision Song Contest i Baku i 2012.
He was planning a similar initiative in the lead-up to the major sporting event European Games, to be held in Baku this summer.
Han planla et lignende initiativ forut for sommerens store idrettsarrangement "European Games" i Baku.
Rasul Jafarov is one of the most courageous and outspoken young pro-democracy activists in Azerbaijan.
- Jafarov er en modig stemme blant Aserbajdsjans unge demokratiforkjempere.
Azerbaijan must fulfil its obligations to respect fundamental human rights,’ said Mr Pedersen.
Aserbajdsjan må leve opp til sine forpliktelser til å respektere grunnleggende rettigheter, sier Pedersen.

‘The jailing of Rasul Jafarov adds to our concern over the situation for democracy and human rights in Azerbaijan,’ said State Secretary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Bård Glad Pedersen.
- Fengslingen av Rasul Jafarov forsterker ytterligere vår uro over situasjonen for demokrati og menneskerettigheter i Aserbajdsjan, sier statssekretær Bård Glad Pedersen.
Norway concerned about arrests in Iran
Norge bekymret for arrestasjoner i Iran
“Norway is very concerned about the arrests of documentary filmmaker Mahnaz Mohammadi and photographer Maryam Majd,” said State Secretary Erik Lahnstein.
- Norge er sterkt bekymret for arrestasjonene av dokumentarfilmskaperen Mahnaz Mohammadi og fotografen Maryam Majd, sier statssekretær Erik Lahnstein.
Ms Mohammadi and Ms Majd are not only internationally recognised artists, but are also prominent women’s rights activists in Iran.
Mohammadi og Majd er ikke bare internasjonalt anerkjente kunstnere, men også sentrale i arbeidet for å fremme kvinners rettigheter i Iran.
“We urge the Iranian authorities to release Ms Mohammadi and Ms Majd immediately, and to respect the right to freedom of expression in accordance with Iran’s international obligations,” said State Secretary Erik Lahnstein.
- Vi oppfordrer iranske myndigheter til umiddelbart å løslate Mohammadi og Majd, og til å respektere ytringsfriheten i tråd med sine internasjonale forpliktelser, sier statssekretær Lahnstein.
The arrests of the two women are the two most recent examples of the increasing pressure that is being put on Iranian journalists and filmmakers.
Arrestasjonene av kvinnene er de to seneste eksemplene på økende press mot iranske journalister og filmskapere.
The internationally recognised film directors Jafar Panahi and Mohammad Rasoulof are also being prosecuted due to their artistic work.
De internasjonalt anerkjente regissørene Jafar Panahi og Mohammed Rasoulof er også rettsforfulgte på grunn av sitt kunstneriske arbeid.
‘It is a pleasure for Norway to return a sculpture to the authorities in Myanmar.
– Det er en glede for Norge å levere en skulptur tilbake til myndighetene i Myanmar.
We hope this will set an example for others to follow,’ said Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende.
Med dette ønsker vi å være et eksempel til etterfølgelse, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
Brende is today in the capital of Myanmar, Nay Pyi Taw.
Utenriksministeren er i dag i Myanmars hovedstad Nay Pyi Taw.
At a formal ceremony with the Myanmar authorities, he will return a Buddha sculpture that was illicitly imported to Norway in 2011 via Thailand.
Under en høytidelig seremoni med myndighetene skal han overlevere en Buddha-skulptur, som ble ulovlig innført via Thailand til Norge i 2011.
‘Norway wants to help ensure that stolen cultural artefacts are brought back to their countries of origin, in line with international agreements.
- Norge ønsker å bidra til at stjålne kulturgjenstander blir bragt tilbake til opprinnelseslandet i tråd med internasjonale avtaler.
I am pleased that this beautiful sculpture is now finally back in Myanmar.
Jeg er glad for at denne vakre skulpturen nå endelig er tilbake.
At the same time, I am concerned to see that the illicit trade in cultural objects is growing, that it is taking new forms, and that it often involves international criminal networks.
Samtidig er jeg bekymret over at ulovlig handel med kulturgjenstander øker, stadig finner nye former og ofte skjer gjennom internasjonale kriminelle nettverk.
Profits from the illicit trade are also used to finance terrorist activities,’ said Mr Brende.
Gevinsten fra ulovlig handel brukes også til å finansiere terrorvirksomhet, sier utenriksministeren.
The sculpture, which is between 150 and 200 years old and made of alabaster and decorated with varnish, gold and glass, was discovered by an observant customs officer in Drammen in 2011.
Den mellom 150-200 år gamle skulpturen, laget av alabast, lakk, gull og glass, ble oppdaget av en oppmerksom tollbetjent i Drammen i 2011.
Since then, there has been an extensive process to trace its origins and finally return it to its country of origin.
Siden har det vært en omfattende prosess for å få den sporet og til slutt ført tilbake til sitt opprinnelsesland.
‘We urge all countries to strengthen their efforts to protect and return cultural objects that have gone astray.
- Vi oppfordrer alle land til å styrke innsatsen for å verne om og levere tilbake kulturgjenstander på avveie.
Countries in every part of the world experience art and cultural property crime.
Land i alle deler av verden er utsatt for kunst- og kulturkriminalitet.
However, countries affected by wars, crises or natural disasters are particularly vulnerable to looting and this kind of crime, as has been seen in Iraq and Syria.
Spesielt land rammet av krig, kriser eller naturkatastrofer er særlig sårbare for plyndring og kriminalitet, som Irak og Syria.
The UN has adopted a number of conventions to prevent and combat illicit trafficking in cultural property.
FN har vedtatt en rekke konvensjoner for å forebygge og bekjempe ulovlig handel med kulturgjenstander.
Norway supports the work of Unesco and the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in this area.
Norge støtter arbeidet til Unesco og FNs kontor for narkotika og organisert kriminalitet (UNODC).

Norway to disburse withheld funds to Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund
Norge utbetaler tilbakeholdte midler i Afghanistan
“I am pleased to see that the Afghan authorities have fulfilled several of the requirements set by the donor countries for resuming the payment of funds to the Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund (ARTF),” said State Secretary Espen Barth Eide.
– Det er positivt at afghanske myndigheter har oppfylt flere av kravene giverlandene har satt for å gjenoppta utbetaling av midler til Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund, ARTF, sier statssekretær Espen Barth Eide.
This means that important projects in the areas of education, good governance and rural development will receive funding.
Det gjør at viktige prosjekter innen utdanning, godt styresett og utvikling på landsbygda får finansiering.
However, we must continue to maintain the pressure in order to reduce the risk of corruption,” said State Secretary Espen Barth Eide.
Vi må imidlertid fortsette å holde trykket oppe for å redusere risikoen for korrupsjon, sier statssekretær Espen Barth Eide.
Norway will disburse up to NOK 280 million to the Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund in 2011.
Norge vil utbetale inntil 280 millioner kroner til ARTF i 2011.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has presented the donor countries’ requirements, in connection with its negotiations on a new agreement with Afghanistan.
Givernes krav til Afghanistan har blitt frontet av IMF i forbindelse med fondets forhandlinger om en ny avtale med Afghanistan.
“The fact that the donors have taken a concerted stand has been crucial for getting the Afghan authorities to take the necessary action in the Kabul Bank case.
- Givernes felles opptreden har vært avgjørende for å få afghanske myndigheter til å ta de nødvendige grep i Kabul Bank-saken.
The IMF and the donors have noted that there has been significant progress in the cleanup efforts.
IMF og giverne har registrert en betydelig fremgang i opprydningsarbeidet.
The audit of the second bank under scrutiny has been almost completed, without finding any circumstances that give grounds for suspicion of embezzlement.
Revisjonen av den andre impliserte banken, Azizi Bank, er på det nærmeste gjennomført uten at det er fremkommet forhold som gir grunnlag for mistanke om underslag.
Furthermore, the Afghan parliament has decided to recapitalise Kabul Bank.
Videre har det afghanske parlamentet fattet vedtak om rekapitalisering av Kabul Bank.
There has also been progress on the issue of recovering funds and prosecuting those involved in the scandal.
Det har også vært fremgang i spørsmålet om tilbakeføring av midler og i straffeforfølgningen av involverte personer.
The IMF Executive Board is expected to consider a new agreement with Afghanistan in the middle of November.
Det forventes at styret i IMF vil behandle en ny avtale med Afghanistan i midten av november.

Norge har lenge etterlyst en robust og bindende resolusjon i FNs sikkerhetsråd om Syria-konflikten.
The civil war in Syria can only be solved by political means, not military action,” said Mr Eide.
Borgerkrigen i Syria kan bare løses politisk, og ikke militært, sier Eide.
