Statssekretær Brattskars innledning på et seminar om ikke-smittsomme sykdommer 17. mars 2014.
Norway will chair the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) for the next year.
Norge skal det neste året lede det multilaterale eksportkontrollregimet MTCR (Missile Technology Control Regime).
Controlling exports of sensitive goods and technology is non-proliferation in practice.
Kontroll med eksport av sensitive varer og teknologi er ikke-spredning i praksis.
It is therefore important, long-term work that Norway will be leading over the next year.
Det er derfor et viktig og langsiktig arbeid som Norge skal lede det neste året.
Export control is not always visible but this work is no less important for that reason.
Eksportkontrollarbeidet er ikke alltid like synlig, men det er ikke mindre viktig av den grunn.
Syria has since signed the Chemical Weapons Convention, and Norway, together with several other countries, has helped to remove and destroy Syria’s declared weapons and equipment.
Senere har Syria undertegnet Kjemivåpenkonvensjonen, og Norge har sammen med flere andre land fjernet og destruert deklarerte våpen og utstyr fra Syria.
However, we also known that various actors in the Middle East and Asia may have weapons programmes.
Samtidig vet vi at aktører i Midtøsten og Asia kan ha våpenprogrammer.
The fact that North Korea and Iran are developing and have tested missiles that can deliver weapons of mass destruction is cause for considerable concern.
Det er grunn til bekymring at Nord-Korea og Iran utvikler og har testet missiler som kan levere masseødeleggelsesvåpen.
Armed conflict and terrorist attacks feature prominently on the international news.
Væpnede konflikter og terrorhandlinger preger det internasjonale nyhetsbildet.
We frequently witness terrible events and suffering as a result of hostilities.
Vi ser grufulle hendelser og menneskelig lidelse som følge av krigshandlinger.
Some countries pick and choose when it comes to compliance with international law and commitments.
Noen land har et selektivt forhold til internasjonal folkerett og inngåtte avtaler.
Non-government actors often have little regard for either.
Ikke-statlige aktører bryr seg lite om noen av delene.
This creates huge problems, and makes it particularly important to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and missiles that can deliver such weapons.
Dette innebærer store utfordringer, ikke minst når det gjelder å hindre spredning av masseødeleggelsesvåpen og missiler som kan levere slike våpen.
Today, the international cooperation on control of trade in sensitive goods and technologies is more important than ever for global and regional stability and security.
Det internasjonale samarbeidet for å kontrollere handelen med sensitive varer og teknologier er viktige enn noen gang for global og regional stabilitet og sikkerhet.
Common export control policy
Felles politikk for eksportkontroll
The multilateral export control regime was established in 1987, when the seven largest Western countries – the G7 – agreed to implement a common export control policy for delivery systems for nuclear weapons.
Det multilaterale eksportkontrollregimet ble etablert i 1987 da de syv største vestlige industrilandene - G7-landene - vedtok å gjennomføre en felles eksportkontrollpolitikk for leveringsmidler av kjernevåpen.
Under Norwegian leadership in 1992, agreement was reached on extending the regime to include all types of weapons of mass destruction, including chemical and biological weapons.
Under norsk ledelse i 1992 lyktes det å få enighet om å utvide kontrollen til å omfatte alle typer masseødeleggelsesvåpen, også kjemiske og biologiske våpen.
This was a historic decision, but it followed a series of tragic events.
Dette var et historisk vedtak med en tragisk bakgrunn.
In 1988, Iraqi forces had used nerve gas against the Kurds in northeast Iraq, killing some 5 000 people.
Irakiske styrker hadde i 1988 brukt nervegass mot kurderne nordøst i Irak og ca.
During the Gulf War from 1990 to 19991, Iraq had launched rockets against Saudi Arabia and Israel.
Under Golfkrigen i 1990-91 hadde Irak også sendt raketter mot Saudi-Arabia og Israel.
There were also reports that certain developing countries had missile capacity and access to chemical and/or biological weapons.
Det var informasjon om at land i den tredje verden hadde missilkapasitet og hadde fått tilgang til kjemiske og/eller biologiske våpen.
The MTCR is the only international forum where problems relating to the proliferation of missiles are discussed on a regular basis.
MTCR er det eneste internasjonale forum hvor problemene rundt spredning av missiler regelmessig drøftes.
The MTCR’s work is an important contribution to international peace and security.
Bestrebelsene innenfor kontrollregimet bidrar til internasjonal fred og sikkerhet.
The multilateral export control regimes play a key role in the non-proliferation efforts, and it is a priority for Norway to be an active partner in this work to make the world more secure.
De multilaterale eksportkontrollregimene spiller en sentral rolle i dette ikke-spredningsarbeidet, og Norge prioriterer å være en aktiv aktør for en sikrere verden.
Under Norway’s chairmanship, we will seek to further develop the MTCR as an effective export control and non-proliferation regime.
Under det norske formannskapet vil vi arbeide for å videreutvikle MTCR som et effektivt eksportkontroll- og ikke-spredningsregime.
We will give priority to dialogue with non-participating countries, including countries with important transit and trans-shipment facilities.
Vi vil prioritere dialog med land som ikke deltar i regimet, herunder også land med betydelige transitt- og omlastningshavner.
We also attach importance to dialogue with industrial actors and academia on the threats involved when certain types of technology and knowledge fall into the wrong hands.
I tillegg vil vi legge vekt på dialog med både industriaktører og akademia om trusselen som visse typer teknologier og kunnskap utgjør om de kommer i feil hender.
