- Human rights are the UN’s guiding principles – through them, the organisation defines objectives and rules that are of universal application.
- Menneskerettighetene er FNs normative fundament – her fastsetter organisasjonen mål og regler som gjelder for alle.
We have a responsibility to do what we can to ensure that human rights violations are not covered up, Minister of Foreign Affairs Støre writes in an article in Dagbladet 01.09.07
Vi har et ansvar for å gjøre det vi kan for at menneskerettighetskrenkelser ikke forties, skriver utenriksminister Støre i en kronikk i Dagbladet 1. september.
Human rights are the UN’s guiding principles – through them, the organisation defines objectives and rules that are of universal application.
Menneskerettighetene er FNs normative fundament – her fastsetter organisasjonen mål og regler som gjelder for alle.
We have a responsibility to do what we can to ensure that human rights violations are not covered up.
Vi har et ansvar for å gjøre det vi kan for at menneskerettighetskrenkelser ikke forties.
Making states responsible for violations has always been controversial.
Ansvarliggjøring av stater for overgrep har alltid vært kontroversielt.
This makes it even more important that we become involved, and Norway is therefore seeking membership of the UN Human Rights Council for the period 2009–2012.
Derfor kunngjør Norge nå at vi ønsker å bli medlem av FNs Menneskerettighetsråd i perioden 2009-2012.
Several of the Commission’s member countries had themselves been responsible for gross human rights violations, and had no interest in helping the Commission to become an active watchdog.
Flere av kommisjonens medlemsland hadde selv stått for grove brudd på menneskerettigheter.
Following a drawn-out negotiation, the UN General Assembly last year decided to replace the Commission with a new body, the Human Rights Council.
Etter en lang dragkamp besluttet FNs generalforsamling i fjor å erstatte kommisjonen med et nytt Menneskerettighetsråd.
The Council’s structure was finally approved this summer, and the effort to rebuild confidence in the UN in the human rights field now begins in earnest.
Denne sommeren ble den nye organisasjonens struktur endelig vedtatt.
This is a demanding task.
Det er en krevende oppgave.
The main problem today is not a lack of rules, but rather that many countries do not allow their citizens to enjoy the rights granted to them under international instruments.
Hovedproblemet i dag er ikke mangel på regelverk, men de mange land som ikke sikrer sine borgere de rettigheter de har i henhold til dette regelverket.
There is a large gap between entitlement and practice.
Gapet mellom forpliktelser og realiteter er stort.
The effort to strengthen human rights must continue, through monitoring, dialogue, international cooperation and clear criticism of human rights violations when necessary.
Arbeidet for å styrke menneskerettighetene må fortsette gjennom overvåking, dialog og internasjonalt samarbeid – og klar kritikk av menneskerettighetsbrudd når det er nødvendig.
Last year’s crisis in the Middle East led to the convening of three special sessions of the Human Rights Council.
Krisen i Midtøsten ledet til at det i fjor ble avholdt tre spesialsesjoner i Menneskerettighetsrådet.
Two of these resulted in the appointment of delegations, which respectively examined conditions in the Palestinian Territory and the human rights situation in Lebanon.
To av dem munnet ut i to delegasjoner som undersøkte forhold i Det palestinske området og en undersøkelseskommisjon om menneskerettightssituasjonen i Libanon.
The Council discussed extrajudicial executions, religious intolerance, blasphemy, freedom of expression, racism, torture, arbitrary detention and conditions at Guantanamo Bay.
Rådet drøftet utenomrettslige henrettelser, religiøs intoleranse, blasfemi, ytringsfrihet, rasisme, tortur, vilkårlig forvaring og forholdene på Guantanamo.
The Council also decided to send a high-level delegation to assess the human rights situation in Darfur.
Rådet vedtok også å sende en høynivådelegasjon for å vurdere menneskerettighetssituasjonen i Darfur.
The negotiation process showed us that the Council’s criticism stings, and accordingly that it can be effective.
Det forteller oss at kritikken biter, og dermed at den kan ha virkning.
The Human Rights Council operates in a demanding political landscape.
Arbeidet i Menneskerettighetsrådet foregår i et krevende politisk terreng.
There are clear dividing lines between the proponents of human rights and the countries that reject criticism as “interference with internal concerns”.
Det er skarpe skillelinjer mellom forkjempere av menneskerettighetene og land som avviser kritikk som ”innblanding i et lands interne anliggender”.
Western countries have traditionally focused on political and civil rights.
Vestlige land har tradisjonelt fokusert på politiske og sivile rettigheter.
For many developing countries, cultural, economic and social rights – not least the right to development – are higher up on the agenda.
For mange utviklingsland står de kulturelle, økonomiske og sosiale rettighetene – og ikke minst retten til utvikling – høyere på dagsorden.
Another area of increasing importance is the debate about the relationship between religious and ethical beliefs and freedom of expression.
Et annet område som er blitt stadig viktigere er debatten rundt forholdet mellom religions- og livssynsspørsmål og ytringsfrihet.
These sensitive issues are characterised by strongly conflicting points of view that cannot be resolved merely by reorganising the UN’s human rights body.
Dette er verdiladede spørsmål preget av sterke motsetninger, motsetninger vi ikke kan organisere oss bort fra.
The Human Rights Council’s first year of operation has been characterised by a lack of agreement on the way forward.
Menneskerettighetsrådets arbeid det første året har vært preget av manglende enighet om veien videre.
Political differences continue to allow some regimes to escape scrutiny and criticism.
Fortsatt fører politiske motsetninger til at noen regimer slipper unna fokus og kritikk.
It is regrettable that the majority of the Council’s members have viewed the reform process as an opportunity to weaken the UN’s ability to conduct independent monitoring of states’ human rights obligations.
Vi må beklage at et flertall av rådets medlemmer har sett reformprosessen som en mulighet til å svekke FNs evne til å føre et uavhengig tilsyn med staters menneskerettighetsforpliktelser.
The Council has fewer Western and Latin American members than the Commission had, and countries from these regions are now in the minority.
Omleggingen fra kommisjon til råd har ført til at vestlige og latinamerikanske land har færre plasser og nå er i mindretall.
In order to secure support for “our” views, we need to seek backing from Asian and African countries.
For å få støtte for ”våre” posisjoner må denne gruppen søke støtte fra asiatiske og afrikanske land.
This represents a political challenge that tests our faith in the UN and multilateral solutions.
Denne analysen rommer en politisk utfordring som setter vår tro på FN og multilaterale løsninger på prøve.
However, we also have to ask: Is Norway’s involvement conditional upon belonging to a majority?
Men vi må også spørre: Er Norges engasjement betinget av at vi tilhører et flertall?
What position do we take in a UN body that reflects today’s world, and not the world as it was in 1946?
Hvordan posisjonerer vi oss i et FN-organ som speiler verden av i dag og ikke verden anno 1946?
I believe that the answers are obvious if we believe that Norway’s efforts can secure real results.
Dersom vi har tro på at Norges innsats kan gi resultater av betydning synes jeg svaret er gitt.
Supporting the UN in the area of human rights is both a humanitarian obligation and in Norway’s own interests.
Det er både en humanitær forpliktelse og i Norges egen interesse å bidra til at FN leverer på menneskerettighetsområdet.
We have important contributions to make.
Vi har viktige innsatser å tilby.
We will seek to strengthen international cooperation in the human rights field.
Vi vil arbeide for å styrke det internasjonale samarbeidet med menneskerettighetene.
Our policies will focus on dialogue and engagement, because we have learned that these secure the best results.
Vår linje vil preges av dialog og engasjement, fordi vi har erfart at det gir best resultater.
At the same time, we cannot compromise in relation to universal rights.
Samtidig kan vi ikke kompromisse med universelle rettigheter.
These are not only Western rights, they belong to everyone.
De er ikke vestens rettigheter, de tilhører alle.
Clear messages need to be sent to oppressive regimes that are unwilling to cooperate and make improvements.
Det må gis klare beskjeder til undertrykkende regimer som ikke viser vilje til samarbeid og forbedring.
Rights under fire?
Rettigheter i motvind?
