‘Laos is the country in the world most affected by cluster munitions.
- Laos er det landet i verden som er hardest rammet av klasevåpen.
I am therefore pleased that Norway and Laos have today signed an agreement on Norwegian support for implementation of the Convention on Cluster Munitions in Laos,’ said Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende.
Jeg er derfor glad for at Norge og Laos i dag har undertegnet en avtale om norsk støtte til gjennomføringen av Konvensjonen om klaseammunisjon i Laos, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
Although it is now more than 40 years since these weapons were used in Laos, vast areas are still contaminated with cluster munition remnants, and every year Laotian children and adults are killed or injured.
Selv om det har gått over 40 år siden disse våpnene ble brukt, er det fortsatt store områder som er rammet, og hvert år blir barn og voksne skadd og drept.
In recent years, however, Laos has managed to reduce the number of new victims from more than 300 annually to less than 50 in 2013.
De siste årene har Laos likevel klart å redusere antall nye rammede per år fra over 300 til under 50 i 2013.
The Laotian authorities have also taken important steps to work more efficiently when surveying and clearing affected areas and ensuring that farmland and schools can safely be used.
Laotiske myndigheter har også tatt viktige grep for å jobbe mer effektivt for å kartlegge og rydde rammede områder og sikre at jordbruksland og skoler kan brukes trygt.
We are directly allocating NOK 6 million to the work to clear cluster munitions in the country.
Vi bevilger derfor 6 millioner kroner som skal gå direkte til rydding av klaseammunisjon.
The agreement between Norway and Laos is valid until 1 August 2020, which coincides with the Convention’s ten-year deadline for clearance of contaminated areas.
Avtalen med Laos er gyldig fram til 1. august 2020 som samsvarer med den første ti-årsfristen for rydding av rammede områder under Konvensjonen om klaseammunisjon.
The agreement specifically supports Laos’s national plan to reach that goal.
Avtalen støtter spesifikt opp under Laos sin nasjonale plan for å nå målet.
It was signed in Oslo on 3 December 2008 following a process initiated by Norway in 2007.
Konvensjonen ble undertegnet i Oslo 3. desember 2008 etter en prosess initiert av Norge i 2007.
To date 114 countries have joined the Convention; 86 of them are already States Parties.
I dag har hele 114 land sluttet seg til avtalen, hvorav 86 land allerede er statsparter.

Cluster weapons manufacturer excluded from the Government Pension Fund – Global
Klasevåpenprodusent utelukket fra Statens pensjonsfond – Utland
"The company produces cluster weapons, which are banned pursuant to the Convention on Cluster Munitions.
Selskapet produserer klasevåpen som er forbudt i henhold til den nylig fremforhandlede klasevåpenkonvensjonen.
We cannot participate in the funding of this type of production," says finance minister Kristin Halvorsen.
- Denne type produksjon kan vi ikke være med på å finansiere, sier finansminister Kristin Halvorsen.
Since the Ethical Guidelines for the Pension Fund - Global came into force, the Ministry of Finance has excluded nine producers of cluster weapons from the investment universe of the Fund, on the basis of recommendations from the Council on Ethics.
Finansdepartementet har siden de etiske retningslinjene for Statens pensjonsfond - Utland trådte i kraft utelukket ni klasevåpenprodusenter fra fondets investeringsunivers, basert på tilrådinger fra Etikkrådet for fondet.
The Convention was signed in December 2008.
Konvensjonen ble undertegnet i desember 2008.
The Council on Ethics studied information on Textron’s website, where the cluster weapon in question is described in detail.
Etikkrådet har søkt informasjon på Textrons hjemmesider hvor det aktuelle klasevåpenet er detaljert beskrevet.
The company has stated that the weapon satisfies several of the criteria for acceptable cluster weapons pursuant to the Cluster Munitions Convention, but not all of them.
Selskapet har opplyst at våpenet imøtekommer flere av kravene til akseptable klasevåpen etter klasevåpenkonvensjonen, men ikke alle kravene.
Against this background, the Council on Ethics recommends that the company be excluded from the investment universe of the fund.
På denne bakgrunn tilrår Etikkrådet at selskapet utelukkes fra fondets investeringsunivers.
On 29 October, the Ministry of Finance instructed Norges Bank that Textron Inc. Corporation was to be excluded from the Government Pension Fund – Global, with a time limit for selling the shares of 31 December.
Finansdepartementet ga 29. oktober Norges Bank instruks om at Textron Inc. skulle utelukkes fra Statens pensjonsfond – Utland med en frist for nedsalg til 31. desember.
The shares in the company have now all been sold.
Nedsalget av aksjer i selskapet er nå gjennomført.
According to Norges Bank, before selling the shares, the Fund owned shares in the company worth almost NOK 249 million.
Ifølge Norges Bank hadde fondet før nedsalget aksjer for nærmere 249 millioner kroner i selskapet.
The decision to sell is made public after the shares have been sold, so as not to affect the sale.
Av hensyn til gjennomføringen av nedsalget blir beslutningen offentliggjort i etterkant.
