More than 15 million people are now dependent on food aid.
Over 15 millioner mennesker trenger nå matbistand.
'The number of people who need food aid may rise dramatically if the international community fails to provide enough aid quickly enough.
- Dette tallet kan øke dramatisk hvis det internasjonale samfunn ikke får inn nok nødhjelp i tide.
Norway is now allocating an additional NOK 30 million in humanitarian assistance,' said Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende.
Norge gir nå ytterligere 30 millioner kroner i humanitær støtte, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
The drought is linked to the El Niño weather pattern, and according to the UN is one of the worst the international community has experienced.
Ifølge FN er tørken, skapt av værfenomenet El Niño, én av de største og mest alvorlige tørkekatastrofer det internasjonale samfunn har opplevd.
The Ethiopian authorities have been contributing to the emergency response, but the scale of the crisis means that further international assistance is vital.
Etiopiske myndigheter har også bidratt til nødhjelpsresponsen, men omfanget av krisen gjør det nødvendig med ytterligere internasjonal hjelp.
The UN Emergency Relief Coordinator has therefore convened a meeting in Geneva today to mobilise increased international support for the Ethiopian people.
FNs nødhjelpskoordinator har derfor invitert til et møte i Genève i dag for å mobilisere økt internasjonal støtte til sivilbefolkningen.
'Ethiopia is an important partner country for Norway.
- Etiopia er et viktig samarbeidsland for Norge.
We welcome the cooperation between leading Norwegian NGOs on the provision of emergency assistance to Ethiopia,' said Mr Brende.
Det er positivt at ledende norske frivillige organisasjoner samarbeider om nødhjelpen til Etiopia, sier Brende.
Norway has been cooperating with Ethiopia on climate-resilient agriculture for a number of years.
Norge har i flere år samarbeidet med Etiopia om klimasmart landbruk.
However, the impacts of the current El Niño, one of the strongest on record, show that the progress Ethiopia has made is very fragile, and that the situation can deteriorate rapidly in poor rural areas.
Konsekvensene av den rekordsterke El Niño viser likevel at fremskrittene i Etiopia er svært skjøre, og at situasjonen på den fattige landsbygda raskt kan bli forverret.
The additional NOK 30 million will be allocated partly to a consortium consisting of Norwegian Church Aid, the Norwegian Refugee Council, Norwegian People's Aid and the Development Fund Norway.
De nye 30 millionene vil blant annet gå til et konsortium bestående av Kirkens Nødhjelp, Flyktninghjelpen, Norsk Folkehjelp og Utviklingsfondet.

This week the world has gathered in New York during the UN’s Special Session on drugs (UNGASS2016), to discuss the way forward on drug policy.
Denne uken er verden samlet i New York under FNs spesialsesjon om narkotika (UNGASS2016), for å diskutere veien videre i narkotikapolitikken.
- Norway’s priority during the negotiations is to strengthen the health perspective, so that persons addicted to drugs are given health care.
- Det viktigste for Norge under forhandlingene er å styrke helseperspektivet, slik at rusavhengige får helsehjelp.
We will work to ensure that human rights are respected and show clear opposition to the use of the death penalty, says the Minister of Health and Care Services, Bent Høie.
Vi skal arbeide for at menneskerettighetene blir respektert og vise tydelig motstand mot dødsstraff, sier helse- og omsorgsminister Bent Høie.
- This is an important meeting for the development of world drug policy.
- Dette er et viktig møte for utvikling av den internasjonale narkotikapolitikken.
There are currently many countries that disproportionately emphasize control and strict punishment for drug-related crimes, including the death penalty.
I dag er det mange land som for ensidig vektlegger kontroll og strenge straffer for narkotikakriminalitet, også dødsstraff.
- Norway will emphasize that human rights must be respected in drug policy and show clear opposition to the use of the death penalty, says Høie.
- Norge vil understreke at menneskerettighetene skal respekteres i narkotikapolitikken og markere tydelig motstand mot bruk av dødsstraff, sier Høie.
Some countries have considerable challenges related to illicit drug production and smuggling, involving violent cartels, corruption and money-laundering.
Noen land har store problemer med narkotikaproduksjon og smugling, med voldelige karteller, korrupsjon og hvitvasking.
Norway will support measures to streamline the cooperation against organized drug crime.
Norge vil støtte tiltak for å effektivisere samarbeidet mot organisert narkotikakriminalitet.
- At the same time, we will work to promote the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals with an emphasis on good governance.
- Samtidig vil vi jobbe for å fremme FNs bærekraftsmål med vekt på godt styresett.
We know that this is an important prerequisite for development, health, rights, alternatives to illicit drug production and efforts against organized crime, says Høie.
Vi vet at det er en viktig premiss for utvikling, helse, rettigheter, alternativer til narkotikaproduksjon og innsats mot organisert kriminalitet, sier Høie.
Another important issue for Norway is to ensure that patients have access to medications that contain controlled substances.
En annen sak som er viktig for Norge er å sikre pasienter tilgang til medisiner som inneholder narkotiske stoffer.
In many countries, patients do not have access to such medications.
I mange land får ikke pasienter tilgang på slike medisiner.
This may be important for treatment, for example as pain relief for cancer patients.
Dette kan være viktig i behandlingen, for eksempel til smertelindring for pasienter som har kreft.
Norway is organizing a side-event on this topic during UNGASS and the Minister will make a statement and chair the debate.
Norge arrangerer et sidearrangement om dette under UNGASS og statsråden holder innlegg og leder diskusjonen.

This will be important in order to enable the European Court of Human Rights to contribute effectively to human rights protection in Europe,” said Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
Det vil være viktig for at domstolen i Strasbourg kan bidra effektivt til å sikre menneskerettighetene i Europa, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
The Court is in danger of collapsing due to an explosive growth in the number of applications to the Court.
Domstolen står i fare for å bryte sammen som følge av en eksplosiv vekst i antall klagesaker.
Protocol No. 14 will simplify the Court’s procedures in clear-cut cases and make it more efficient.
Protokoll 14 vil forenkle domstolens behandling av opplagte saker og gjøre domstolen mer effektiv.
“Norway has repeatedly urged Russia to ratify the protocol.
- Norge har gjentatte ganger oppfordret Russland til å ratifisere protokollen.
Both the Prime Minister and I have raised this matter with our Russian counterparts.
Både statsministeren og jeg har tatt opp saken med våre russiske motparter.
The Duma’s decision on Friday is a positive signal of continued support for the European human rights system,” said Mr Støre.
Dumaens vedtak fredag er et positivt signal om fortsatt støtte til det europeiske menneskerettssystemet, sier Støre
