Norway condemns use of landmines in Syria
Norge fordømmer bruk av landminer i Syria
“These are weapons that do not distinguish between combatants and civilians.
- Dette er et våpen som ikke skiller mellom stridende og sivile.
The use of landmines will affect the Syrian population for many years to come.
Bruk av miner vil ramme den syriske befolkningen i mange år fremover.
This is just the latest in a string of atrocities against civilians that are now being reported from Syria,” Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre commented.
Dette følger i rekken av grove overgrep mot sivile som nå dokumenteres fra Syria, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
Human Rights Watch has reported a number of cases of antipersonnel and antivehicle mines being planted in Syria’s border areas with Turkey and Lebanon.
Organisasjonen Human Rights Watch rapporterer om flere tilfeller av utlegging av landminer og antitankminer i Syrias grenseområder til Tyrkia og Libanon.
These reports are based on multiple accounts from civilian witnesses and Syrian mine clearers associated with the opposition.
Rapportene er basert på flere vitneutsagn fra sivilbefolkningen og syriske mineryddere knyttet til opposisjonen.
Moreover, the Syrian authorities have also made clear on a number of occasions that there are landmines in the conflict areas.
I tillegg har syriske myndigheter selv ved flere anledninger sagt at det finnes landminer i konfliktområdene.
Syria is not a State Party to the Mine Ban Convention, which has 159 States Parties, including Norway and Turkey.
Syria er ikke statspart til Minekonvensjonen som har 159 statsparter, herunder Norge og Tyrkia.
It is therefore rare to hear of countries planting new landmines.
Det rapporteres derfor sjelden om at stater legger ut nye landminer.

Marin sektor er pekt ut som en av de næringene hvor Norge kan være verdensledende med et potensial for økt verdiskaping.
Research and development will be essential in order to develop this potential, says the Minister of Fisheries.
Forskning og utvikling vil være helt avgjørende for å utnytte dette potensialet, sier fiskeriministeren.
The master plan will form the basis for Norway's priorities in aquaculture research, resource and ecosystem research, and research that can create a basis for new marine industries.
Masterplanen skal danne grunnlag for prioriteringer innen havbruksforskningen, ressurs- og økosystemforskningen og forskning som kan skape grunnlag for nye marine næringer.
