We are now stepping up Norway’s efforts by increasing our contribution to the international coalition against ISIL,’ said Prime Minister Erna Solberg.
Vi styrker nå den norske innsatsen ved å øke vårt bidrag til koalisjonen mot ISIL, sier statsminister Erna Solberg.
ISIL has used extreme violence to take control of areas in Syria and Iraq.
ISIL har inntatt områder i Syria og Irak med ekstrem vold.
Armed conflict and ISIL’s brutal campaign of violence have forced people to flee their homes in fear and desperation.
Væpnet konflikt og ISILs brutale fremferd har drevet folk til å forlate sine hjem i frykt og fortvilelse.
ISIL poses a threat far beyond the region.
ISIL er en trussel langt utover regionen.
Europe is also being subjected to acts of terrorism and violence, as we have seen in Paris, Brussels and Turkey.
Europa utsettes også for terror og vold slik vi har sett i Paris, Brussel og Tyrkia.
‘ISIL’s ideology and brutal actions have resulted in the deaths of a great many civilians, and have forced many more people to flee.
– ISILs brutale holdninger og handlinger har tatt livet av mange sivile og drevet enda flere på flukt.
ISIL has brought violence and terror to Europe, and has radicalised young people and recruited them as foreign terrorist fighters.
De har rammet Europa med vold og terror og unge mennesker har blitt radikalisert og vervet som fremmedkrigere.
The international community must stand united in fighting ISIL’s ideology and actions, and use a range of different tools.
Holdningene og handlingene må bekjempes av en samlet verden og med en rekke ulike virkemidler.
The contingent of around 60 soldiers will provide training, advice and operational support to local Syrian groups that are fighting against ISIL.
Styrken på omlag 60 soldater vil bidra med trening, rådgivning og operativ støtte til lokale syriske grupper som selv kjemper mot ISIL.
Norway’s contribution will include personnel from the Norwegian special forces.
Det norske bidraget vil inkludere norske spesialstyrker.
The Norwegian troops will be based in Jordan.
De norske styrkene vil ha base i Jordan.
‘The coalition has asked for this type of assistance, and our contribution is greatly valued.
– Koalisjonen har etterspurt denne typen kapasitet og et slikt bidrag er høyt verdsatt.
The fighting itself will be done by others, but we can help by enhancing their combat capabilities,’ said Minister of Defence Ine Eriksen Søreide.
Striden skal kjempes av andre, men vi kan bistå ved å sette dem i stand til å kjempe, sier forsvarsminister Ine Eriksen Søreide.
This operation is such that the Norwegian forces would have a mandate to train, advise and provide operational support from Syrian territory if the concept of operations calls for this.
Det ligger i denne operasjonen at de norske styrkene har mandat til å kunne trene, rådgi og gi operativ støtte fra syrisk territorium dersom operasjonskonseptet krever det.
If the concept of operations is expanded and the situation requires the provision of training and support on Syrian territory, the Government will ask the Storting to consider this as a separate matter.
Hvis operasjonskonseptet utvikles, og situasjonen tilsier trening og støtte på syrisk territorium, vil regjeringen konsultere Stortinget særskilt om dette.
‘The Minister of Foreign Affairs and I have briefed the Storting’s Enlarged Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee about the operation, and the Government attaches great importance to keeping the Storting informed of developments in the fight against ISIL and of Norway’s contributions,’ said Ms Søreide.
– Utenriksministeren og jeg har i dag orientert Den utvidede utenriks- og forsvarskomiteen på Stortinget om oppdraget, og regjeringen legger stor vekt på å fortsette å holde Stortinget informert om utviklingen i kampen mot ISIL og de norske bidragene, sier forsvarsministeren.
There is broad international agreement on the need to fight ISIL.
Det er bred internasjonal enighet om at ISIL må bekjempes.
More than 65 countries and organisations have joined the international coalition against ISIL, including Western countries and countries in the region.
Mer enn 65 land og organisasjoner har sluttet seg til koalisjonen mot ISIL.
UN Security Council resolution 2249 called on all UN member states to consider the possibility of strengthening their efforts in the fight against ISIL in Iraq and Syria.
FNs sikkerhetsrådsresolusjon 2249 oppfordret alle medlemsland til å styrke innsatsen i kampen mot ISIL i Irak og Syria.
This resolution treats Iraq and Syria as one area when it comes to the extent of ISIL’s presence and efforts to fight ISIL.
Denne resolusjonen ser på Irak og Syria som ett område når det gjelder utbredelsen og bekjempelsen av ISIL.
On behalf of the coalition, the US and France have requested that Norway steps up its military and civilian efforts.
USA og Frankrike har på vegne av koalisjonen anmodet Norge om å styrke vår militære og sivile innsats.
‘ISIL must be fought in both Syria and Iraq.
– ISIL må bekjempes i både Syria og Irak.
The collective self-defence of Iraq provides a legal basis under international law for carrying out this fight in Syria, too.
Det kollektive selvforsvaret av Irak gir et folkerettslig grunnlag for å ta denne kampen også i Syria.
Security Council resolution 2249 supports this,’ said Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende.
Sikkerhetsrådets resolusjon 2249 understøtter dette, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
‘We will also provide a limited number of personnel to enhance knowledge about foreign terrorist fighters in the region.
– I tillegg vil vi bidra med et begrenset antall personer for å styrke kunnskapen om fremmedkrigere i regionen.
We need better situational awareness in order to prevent extremism and radicalisation in the region and in Europe,’ said Ms Solberg.
Vi trenger bedre situasjonsforståelse for å hindre ekstremisme og radikalisering i regionen og i Europa, sier Erna Solberg.
Strengthening Norway’s military contribution in the fight against ISIL may increase the threat to Norway.
Et styrket norsk militært bidrag mot ISIL vil kunne øke trusselen mot Norge.
However, doing nothing also poses a risk.
Samtidig vil det være en risiko ved å ikke gjøre noe.
The reason we are taking part in the coalition is precisely to combat ISIL and thus reduce the risk of terrorist attacks on Norwegian and European soil.
En av grunnene til at vi bidrar til koalisjonen er jo nettopp å bekjempe ISIL og dermed redusere faren for terrorangrep mot norsk og europeisk jord.
‘We cannot allow threats from terrorist organisations to dictate our security policy.
– Vi kan ikke tillate trusler fra terrororganisasjoner å bestemme vår sikkerhetspolitikk.
Fighting ISIL is a long-term investment in our own security,’ said Minister of Defence Ine Eriksen Søreide.
Bekjempelse av ISIL er en langvarig investering i vår egen sikkerhet, sier forsvarsminister Ine Eriksen Søreide.
‘In 2016 Norway will provide a total of NOK 200 million for stabilisation measures in Iraq and Syria.
– I 2016 vil Norge bidra med til sammen 200 millioner kroner til stabiliseringstiltak i Irak og i Syria.
It is important to help stabilise vulnerable areas in Iraq and Syria, both in order to assist the civilian population in areas where ISIL has been pushed back, and in order to prevent other extremist groups from gaining a foothold,’ said Mr Brende.
Det er viktig å bidra til å stabilisere utsatte områder i Irak og Syria.
In Syria there will also be a need for landmine detection, mapping and clearance, once areas are liberated from ISIL.
I Syria vil det også være behov for kartlegging og minerydding etterhvert som områder frigjøres fra ISIL.
This year, Norway is willing to contribute up to NOK 50 million for this purpose, in addition to its support for stabilisation measures.
Norge er i år rede til å bidra med opptil 50 millioner utover stabiliseringsstøtten til dette formålet.
Norway will provide NOK 10 billion over the next four years.
Norge bidrar med 10 milliarder kroner over fire år.
This is Norway’s largest ever humanitarian contribution.
Dette er det største humanitære bidraget noensinne.

Norway invites election observers
Noreg inviterer til valobservasjon
“Norway has a vibrant democracy and there is substantial confidence in the Norwegian electoral system.
- I Noreg har me eit levande demokrati og det norske valsystemet nyt stor tillit.
Nevertheless, it is useful to receive input from international election observers,” says Minister of Local Government and Regional Development Liv Signe Navarsete.
Det er likevel svært nyttig med innspel frå internasjonale valobservatørar, seier kommunal- og regionalminister Liv Signe Navarsete.
Here they will be information about the Norwegian electoral system and the Internet voting trial, which will be held in 12 municipalities this autumn.
Her blir dei orientert om det norske valsystemet og forsøket med internettrøysting, som skal gjennomførast i 12 kommunar til hausten.
On the basis of this visit, the OSCE will consider whether they want to send observers for the actual election on 9 September.
På bakgrunn av besøket vil OSSE vurdere om dei ynskjer å sende observatørar til sjølve valgjennomføringa 9. september.
The Ministry has also invited the OSCE’s Parliamentary Assembly (PA) to observe the election.
Departementet har også invitert Parlamentarikarforsamlinga (PA) i OSSE til å observere valgjennomføringa.
The OSCE first observed an election in Norway during the 2009 parliamentary election.
OSSE gjennomførte for første gang valobservasjon her i landet ved stortingsvalet i 2009.
They also sent an expert team to observe the Internet voting trial during the 2011 municipal and county elections.
Dei sendte også eit ekspertteam for å observere forsøket med internettrøysting ved lokalvalet i 2011.
These reports are also available on our website.
Desse rapportane er også tilgjengelege på våre nettsider.

Norway invites OSCE to observe e-voting
Noreg inviterer OSSE til å observere e-val
It is very important that confidence in the electoral process is maintained also when we cast our votes online," says Minister Liv Signe Navarsete.
Det er særs viktig at tilliten til val vert oppretthalden også når ein røystar via Internett, seier statsråd Liv Signe Navarsete.
The ability to observe e-elections is naturally different than with traditional voting.
Mulegheita til å oververe e-val er sjølvsagt annleis enn ved tradisjonell røysting.
In observing e-elections, it is important to focus on the connection between technology and the requirement for secret ballots.
Ved observasjon av e-val, er det viktig at det blir fokusert på mellom anna samanhengen mellom teknologi og kravet til hemmelig røysting.
"We know that the OSCE is in the process of preparing a manual for observing electronic voting.
- Vi veit at OSSE er i gang med å lage ei handbok for observasjon av elektronisk røysting.
We hope the pilot project in Norway will help provide useful experience," says Navarsete.
Vi håpar forsøket i Noreg kan bidra til å gje nyttig erfaring, seier Navarsete.
Norwegian municipalities are obliged to accept the accredited observers and to facilitate the observation of elections.
Norske kommunar pliktar å ta i mot akkrediterte observatørar og å leggje til rette for valobservasjon.
The OSCE conducted a limited election observation in Norway during the general election of 2009.
OSSE gjennomførte ein avgrensa valobservasjon i Noreg ved stortingsvalet i 2009.
Their report is available in Norwegian and English (pdf format).
Deira rapport er tilgjengeleg på norsk og engelsk (pdf-format)
The OSCE is the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and ODIHR is the division within the organization that is responsible for observing elections.
OSSE er Organisasjonen for sikkerheit og samarbeid i Europa, og ODIHR er den avdelinga i organisasjonen som har ansvar for valobservasjon.

Norway is providing NOK 20 million to earthquake victims in China
Norge bidrar med 20 millioner til jordskjelvofrene
Norway is engaged in close dialogue with the Chinese authorities following the terrible earthquake that struck the Sichuan province on Monday.
Norge er i tett dialog med kinesiske myndigheter etter det voldsomme jordskjelvet som rammet Sichuan-provinsen mandag.
The quake measured 7.8 on the Richter scale, and the death toll is rising steadily.
Skjelvet målte 7,8 på Richters skala, og tallet på omkomne stiger stadig.
But we are willing to contribute equipment and expertise if China needs our help,” Minister of the Environment and International Development Erik Solheim commented.
Men vi vil trå til og hjelpe til med utstyr og kompetanse, dersom Kina har behov for det, sier miljø- og utviklingsminister Erik Solheim.
It is still difficult to transport emergency aid and supplies to the areas that are hardest hit by the quake.
Det er fortsatt vanskelig å bringe nødhjelp og forsyninger fram til de hardest rammede områdene.
According to the Chinese authorities it is not primarily a lack of food, water, tents or medicines that is hampering the relief efforts.
Ifølge kinesiske myndigheter er det ikke først og fremst mangel på mat, vann, telt eller medisiner som hindrer hjelpearbeidet.
They are now considering the need for international assistance.
De vurderer nå behovet for internasjonal bistand.
“The situation in China stands in stark contrast to that in Burma.
- Situasjonen i Kina står i sterk kontrast til forholdene i Burma.
The authorities in China took immediate action to help the victims of the earthquake.
Myndighetene tok grep for å hjelpe ofrene umiddelbart etter skjelvet.
Nevertheless, thousands of lives have been lost in the disaster due to the difficult conditions following the quake,” Mr Solheim said.
Tusenvis av liv har likevel gått tapt i katastrofen på grunn av de vanskelige forholdene etter jordskjelvet, sier Solheim.
“We are prepared to increase the Norwegian funding for this cooperation,” Mr Solheim commented.
- Vi er innstilt på å øke den norske støtten til dette samarbeidet, sier Solheim.

Norway launches international energy and climate partnership
Norge lanserer internasjonalt energi- og klimainitiativ
"We need to build political momentum around the energy for all agenda.
- Vi må skape et politisk momentum for målet om energi for alle.
Energy+ is inspired by the successful program to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD).
Energi- og klimainitiativet er inspirert av det vellykkede programmet for å redusere utslippene som skyldes avskoging og ødeleggelse av skog (REDD).
In turn, this will contribute to energy and job security, improved health, business opportunities for private investors and national economic growth.
I sin tur vil dette føre til energi- og jobbsikkerhet, bedre helse, forretningsmuligheter for private investorer og økonomisk vekst nasjonalt.
"New energy investments must be results-based.
- Nye investeringer i energi må være resultatbaserte.
We already have experiences from our support to reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation that this creates the right incentives", says Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg.
Fra vår støtte til arbeidet med å redusere utslipp som skyldes avskoging og ødeleggelse av skog, har vi allerede erfaring som viser at dette skaper de riktige insentivene, sier statsminister Jens Stoltenberg.
