The project concluded that, given the complex range of approaches and instruments that are employed in peace operations, some form of integration is necessary in order to adequately address the realities on the ground and secure lasting peace.

There is also a strong call to bring politics back into the equation for, without a deep understanding of the political nature of contemporary challenges and an informed and committed membership, we run the risk of only addressing the symptoms and not the root causes of the conflicts in question.

In supporting and promoting these processes, my Government is keenly aware of the need to accommodate the many different mandates with which the UN has been tasked, and ensure that efforts to promote better coherence and integration in countries in, emerging from or affected by conflict, are reconciled with respect for the overarching humanitarian principles.

Norwegian architecture has attracted international attention during the last couple of decades, culminating in several prestigious international awards, such as the Pritzker Prize to Sverre Fehn in 1997, and last year’s Mies van der Rohe award to Snøhetta for the Opera House in Oslo.
