The wave of looting and smuggling of antiquities and historical material in and around Iraq and Syria is very serious.
Den pågående plyndring og utsmugling av kulturgjenstander og historisk materiale som skjer i regionen rundt Irak og Syria er svært alvorlig.
‘It is vital that all countries comply with binding UN decisions.

Irreplaceable cultural artefacts and unique historical objects are being stolen from museums and libraries or looted from archaeological digs before being smuggled across borders for sale in Europe and elsewhere.

Success in efforts to increase vaccination of children in developing countries
Suksess i arbeidet med vaksiner til barn i utviklingsland
Norway is contributing USD 27 million to IFFIm in the period 2007–2011.
Norge støtter IFFIm med 27 millioner US dollar i perioden 2007-2011.
Norway’s annual contribution, which was increased from NOK 300 million to NOK 500 million by the present Government in 2005, makes it the second-largest donor to the Alliance after the US.
Med et årlig bidrag som ved regjeringsskiftet i 2005 ble økt fra 300 til 500 millioner kroner, er Norge den nest største giveren etter USA til GAVI.
IFFIm’s purpose is to mobilise USD 4 billion by 2015, to be used for immunisation and vaccination programmes and to strengthen health systems in developing countries.
Målsettingen med finansieringsordningen er å mobilisere 4 milliarder dollar innen 2015 som skal gå til immunisering, vaksinasjonsprogrammer og styrking av helsesystemer i utviklingsland.

Israel should transfer Palestinian funds now
Israel bør overføre palestinske penger nå
This money is equivalent to around two-thirds of the payroll expenses for public employees in the Palestinian Authority (PA).
Avgiftsoverføringene utgjør omlag to tredeler av lønnsutgifter til offentlig ansatte for den palestinske selvstyremyndigheten (PA).
The backdrop to Israel withholding these funds is the agreement on Palestinian reconciliation that was signed between Hamas and Fatah in Cairo last Wednesday.
Bakgrunnen for tilbakeholdelsen er undertegningen av avtalen om palestinsk forsoning mellom partiene Hamas og Fatah i Kairo onsdag forrige uke.
“This money belongs to the Palestinians.
– Disse pengene er palestinske.
Israel just administers these funds on behalf of the Palestinian Authority according to an agreement.
Israel bare administrerer dem på vegne av den palestinske selvstyremyndigheten basert på en avtale.
Withholding these funds undermines President Abbas and other Palestinian political forces that are pursuing a peaceful solution,” said Mr Støre.
Tilbakeholdelsen svekker president Abbas og andre forhandlingsorienterte krefter i palestinsk politikk, sier utenriksministeren.
The withholding of these revenues has already delayed the payment of salaries to Palestinian public employees.
Tilbakeholdelsen av avgiftsmidlene har allerede ført til forsinkelse i lønnsutbetalingene til palestinske offentlig ansatte.
“The Israeli decision is jeopardising the whole Palestinian state-building project.
– Det israelske vedtaket setter hele det palestinske statsbyggingsprosjektet i fare.
It is vital that Israel respects the agreements it has entered into with the Palestinians and transfers these funds immediately,” said Mr Støre.
Det er av avgjørende betydning at Israel respekterer inngåtte avtaler med palestinerne og gjenopptar overføringene umiddelbart, sier Støre.
Mr Støre relayed this message to Israeli Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Daniel Ayalon during his visit to Norway on 6 May.
Utenriksministeren formidlet også dette budskapet til Israels viseutenriksminister Daniel Ayalon under hans besøk i Norge 6. mai.
Article in Aftenposten (Oslo), 14 June 2009
Kronikk i Aftenposten, 14. juni 2009
Almost a bit surprised.
Et Babels tårn – uten babelsk forvirring.
Almost a bit surprised.
Nesten litt forundret.
Even if Norway isn’t a small country, Norwegian is definitely a small language.
Om ikke Norge er et lite land, så er i alle fall norsk et lite språk.
Lacking language can make absolutely anyone feel small.
Mangelen på språk kan gjøre noen og enhver liten.
Just like the main character, Bob, in Sofia Coppola’s film Lost in Translation, who arrives in Tokyo, doesn’t understand a thing, and feels completely “lost”.
Som i Sofia Coppolas film Lost in Translation hvor hovedpersonen Bob kommer til Tokyo, forstår ikke et fnugg og er fullstendig ”lost”.
He utters a single word, then a short sentence in English, and the interpreter translates this into a stream of expressions and sentences in Japanese.
Han sier ett ord, en kort setning på engelsk, og tolken oversetter til en strøm av uttrykk og setninger på japansk.
He becomes an alien.
Han blir en fremmed.
The late major general Bjørn Egge talked about his assignments in Africa and the struggle to develop a relationship with the local authorities.
Avdøde generalmajor Bjørn Egge fortalte fra sine oppdrag i Afrika om strevet med å skape nærhet til lokale myndigheter.
Major General Egge spoke and the interpreter interpreted.
Egge snakket og tolken tolket.
But his African counterpart just shook his head and said that the “soul” of his message was lost on the way.
Men hans afrikanske motpart rystet på hodet og sa at sjelen blir borte på veien.
Good translation of literature involves making sure that the soul doesn’t get lost on the way.
God oversettelse av litteratur handler om å sikre at sjelen ikke blir borte på veien.
It may be banal, but it is worth repeating: language is important, in fact crucial for interpersonal relationships.
Det er banalt, men tåler å gjentas: Språk er viktig – ja, helt avgjørende i mellommenneskelige relasjoner.
And for that reason language is also crucial for relations between cultures, nations and states.
Derfor også i forholdet mellom kulturer, nasjoner, stater.
We need to make ourselves understood.
Vi trenger å gjøre oss forstått.
We need arenas, languages and good conditions for dialogue.
Vi trenger arenaer, språk og betingelser for dialog.
That is why we need other countries’ literature, other voices and perspectives.
Derfor trenger vi andre lands litteratur, alle de andre stemmene, ytringene.
They give us insight.
Innsikt.
And just as importantly, we need independent, critical voices from outside.
Og like viktig: Vi trenger selv de uavhengige, kritiske stemmene utenfra.
So our ambition is as follows: We, too, need to be understood in a way that goes beyond the messages of official authorities and embassy websites.
Vår ambisjon er dermed denne: Også vi trenger å bli forstått utover offisielle myndigheters budskap og hjemmesider til ambassadene.
We need people from outside to gain insight into what Norwegian authors are writing.
Vi trenger at noen utenfra får innblikk i hva som skrives av norske forfattere.
In our interconnected world, cultural understanding, our international reputation and what we communicate outwardly are becoming ever more important.
I en sammenvevd verden blir kulturforståelse, vårt omdømme, hva vi formidler, stadig viktigere.
Recently 124 translators were gathered at a conference in Norway, hosted by the foundation for promoting Norwegian literature abroad, Norla.
Nylig var 124 oversettere samlet på en konferanse i Norge i regi av Norla.
But it was equally fascinating to see that Norwegian is translated into other small languages: Icelandic, Estonian, Lithuanian, Catalonian.
Men vel så fascinerende: Det oversettes fra norsk til andre småspråk; til islandsk, estisk, litauisk, katalansk.
Altogether, 31 different languages were represented.
31 språk var representert.
A veritable Tower of Babel – but without the confusion.
Et Babels tårn – uten babelsk forvirring.
Which of these is most important for conveying the essence of what is Norwegian?
Mon tro hvem som er viktigst for å formidle ”det norske”?
Both, I would say.
Jeg velger begge.
Together, they say something about our presence abroad; our ability to communicate Norwegian interests, Norwegian culture, Norwegian voices, and to convey an impression of Norway as a country.
Sammen sier de noe om tilstedeværelse ute, evne til å formidle norske interesser, norsk kultur, norske stemmer, Norge.
Translators are a select group that seldom “get lost”.
Oversettere er en utvalgt gruppe som sjelden ”get lost”.
In this way, translators are industrious: they discover good texts, convey their soul, the various levels of meaning words have, the context, the inner logic, they master the codes, the keys.
For slik er oversetterne virksomme; de oppdager gode tekster, formidler sjelen, de ulike nivåer i ords betydning, konteksten, sammenhengen, logikken, de mestrer kodene, nøklene.
For the rest of us.
For oss andre.
They are the special envoys of our language – and there are at least 124 of them.
De er vårt språks spesialutsendinger – og det er altså minst 124 av dem.
Nobel Prize winner José Saramago has apparently commented that authors write national literature, but translators write world literature.
Nobelprisvinneren José Saramago skal ha sagt at; ”forfattere skriver nasjonal litteratur, men oversettere skriver verdenslitteratur”.
In Salman Rushdie’s The Enchantress of Florence: A Novel, Rushdie describes how the world 400 years ago seemed to be so much “larger” than people had believed it to be, and how people for a long time, and quite literally, had feared the end of the world.
I Salman Rushdies Trollkvinnen i Firenze skildres hvordan verden for 400 år siden opplevdes å være så mye ”større” enn man hadde trodd – om hvordan folk lenge og konkret hadde fryktet verdens ende.
In our era, what is dramatic is perhaps the fact that the world seems much “smaller” than we had thought, that all the world’s conflicts seem so close to us.
I vår tid er kanskje dramaet at verden er mye ”mindre” enn vi har trodd, at all verdens konflikter er så tett på oss.
But perhaps we have something in common even so, because in the face of today’s major global problems there are still people who fear that the end of the world is nigh.
Men noe er felles, for når vi står overfor dagens store globale utfordringer, så er det kanskje fortsatt noen som frykter at enden er nær?
Literature makes the world both larger and smaller at the same time.
Litteraturen gjør verden større og mindre på en gang.
Literature gives us a deeper understanding of time and space, and provides arenas for communication, contact and the exchange of experience.
Litteraturen gir oss en dypere forståelse av tid og rom og er arenaer for kommunikasjon, kontakt og kunnskapsutveksling.
That is why international politics needs art and culture.
Derfor trenger internasjonal politikk kunsten og kulturen.
Not to serve a particular political ideology – the author’s absolute freedom of opinion must be safeguarded – but as a means of gaining insight.
Ikke i én politikks tjeneste – forfatterens absolutte meningsfrihet må holdes intakt – men som metode for innsikt.
Literature provides a route to self-knowledge.
Litteratur er en vei til selverkjennelse.
And perhaps most importantly of all: it allows others to see us.
Og kanskje aller viktigst: Vi får andres blikk på oss.
In order for this to happen, the great literature of the small languages must also find its way out into the world.
Da må også småspråkenes store litteratur ut i verden.
Because of his writing.
På grunn av sin diktning.
The challenge, then, is to be “introduced” into another “world of reading”.
Utfordringen er altså å bli ”indført” i en annen ”læseverden”.
This is happening to an increasing number of authors.
Det skjer med flere og flere forfattere.
Norwegian literature is once again becoming international, greatly aided by the fact that our leading authors are attracting media attention and winning prizes.
Norsk litteratur er igjen i ferd med å bli internasjonal, godt hjulpet av at våre fremste forfattere får medieomtale og priser.
The results of systematic efforts are becoming apparent: the number of translations has grown significantly, from 100 translations in 2005 to almost 300 successful translation applications in 2008.
Resultatene av målrettet arbeid viser seg: Antallet oversettelser har vokst betydelig: Fra 100 oversettelser i 2005 til nærmere 300 innvilgede søknader om oversettelse i 2008.
Fifty countries received funding for translation in 2008, twenty more than in 2007.
50 land mottok oversettelsesstøtte i 2008; 20 flere enn i 2007.
