- We must bear in mind that Security Council resolution 1973 contains no time limits.
- Vi skal huske på at resolusjon 1973 ikke har noen tidsbegrensninger.
Nor have we stipulated a deadline for Norway’s support for the implementation of the resolution, Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said in his address to the Storting on 9 May 2011 on the situation in Libya and Norway’s participation in the international response.

Thank you for this opportunity to follow up the Prime Minister’s address in this chamber on 29 March with an update on the situation in Libya and the Norwegian and international efforts to protect the civilian population, alleviate the humanitarian situation and help to find a political solution to the conflict.
Takk for denne anledningen til å følge opp statsministerens redegjørelse av 29. mars i år, for å gi en oppdatering både om utviklingen i Libya og om de norske og internasjonale bestrebelser for å beskytte sivilbefolkningen, avhjelpe den humanitære situasjonen og bidra til en politisk løsning på konflikten.
Norway is taking part in humanitarian, political and military operations in Libya.
Norge har engasjert seg i Libya-konflikten humanitært, politisk og militært.
The conflict is complex and poses many dilemmas, and there is no simple, perfect solution.
Konflikten er kompleks, med mange dilemmaer og ingen enkle, perfekte løsninger.
It is therefore both fitting and important that there is a broad and thorough debate on Norway’s participation in these operations, both in this chamber and in the public sphere.
Det er derfor riktig og viktig at den norske innsatsen debatteres bredt og grundig, både i denne sal og ellers i det offentlige rom.
Norway’s military engagement enjoys the broad support of the Storting.
Det norske militære engasjementet har fått bred støtte på Stortinget.
This is important, given that it is such a serious engagement, and it is important for our women and men who are participating in the operation.
Det er viktig når det handler om et så alvorlig engasjement – og det er viktig for våre kvinner og menn som deltar i oppdraget.
Libya’s future now hangs in the balance.
Vi står nå midt oppe i et oppgjør om Libyas fremtid.
For the people of the country it is a matter of getting rid of an authoritarian regime and ensuring participation in the political process and opportunities for development for the many rather than the few.
For landets befolkning dreier det seg om å avvikle et autoritært regime og sikre medbestemmelse og utviklingsmuligheter for de mange i stedet for de få.
For us it is a matter of promoting fundamental values that we cherish: ensuring protection of civilians, assisting people in need, strengthening the UN and the international rule of law, and supporting key principles of international law that we ourselves have championed.
For oss dreier det seg om å fremme dyptgripende verdier som vi tror på – å sikre beskyttelse av sivile, bistå mennesker i nød, styrke FN og den internasjonale rettsorden, samt å støtte sentrale folkerettslige prinsipper som vi – historisk sett – selv har vært med på å kjempe frem.
It is important to recall that the alternatives open to the international community when faced by the situation in Libya were far from ideal.
Jeg vil minne om dette: Overfor situasjonen i Libya hadde verdenssamfunnet noen handlingsalternativer som var langt fra ideelle.
By far the worst course of action open to us was to do nothing.
Det klart dårligste av dem alle, var å ikke gjøre noe.
The international community had reliable information indicating that an acute crisis was brewing for Libyan civilians.
Verdenssamfunnet hadde solid informasjon om at en akutt nødssituasjon for Libyas befolkning var under oppseiling.
Gaddafi’s own pronouncements that he would crush all opposition by means of military force gave cause for grave concern.
Gaddafis egne uttalelser om at han ville slå ned all opposisjon, med bruk av militær makt, var sterkt foruroligende.
The consequences of not taking action could have been disastrous for the civilian population.
Konsekvensene av å ikke handle kunne ha blitt katastrofale for sivilbefolkningen.
Despite the fact that the situation in Libya today remains difficult and unresolved, and that civilians are still suffering due to internal hostilities, it is important to ask precisely what would have happened if we had not acted so decisively.
På tross av at situasjonen i Libya i dag er vanskelig og uavklart, og sivile fortsatt utsettes for store prøvelser som følge av interne kamphandlinger, er det viktig å løfte frem akkurat dette spørsmålet: Hva ville alternativet ha vært, om vi ikke hadde vist handlekraft?
Sometimes military force is necessary as part of an overall effort to prevent abuses and attacks on civilians and lay the groundwork for peace and stability.
Visse ganger er militære maktmidler påkrevd som del av en helhetlig innsats for å forhindre overgrep og legge grunnlaget for fred og stabilitet.
I understand that many commentators and others are asking: What about other brutal regimes?
Jeg forstår at kommentatorer og andre spør – ja, hva med andre brutale regimer?
I admit that this is a dilemma and that there is no easy answer to this question.
Jeg innrømmer at det er et dilemma, et spørsmål uten enkle svar.
But objections to intervening in just one critical situation cannot be a decisive argument for not intervening when the UN Security Council has in fact reached agreement on taking action in a particular case.
Men det kan heller ikke være slik at manglende enighet om å gripe inn i én kritisk situasjon, skal være et avgjørende argument mot å gripe inn når FNs sikkerhetsråd faktisk samler seg.
After Security Council resolution 1973 was adopted, it was necessary to act quickly.
Etter vedtaket av resolusjon 1973, måtte det handles raskt.
The Government made its decisions on the basis of our constitutional requirements.
Regjeringen tok sine beslutninger basert på vårt konstitusjonelle rammeverk.
There was ongoing contact with the parties represented in the Storting.
Fortløpende ble det holdt kontakt med partiene på Stortinget.
I would like to thank the leaders of the opposition parties for their cooperation during those critical days at the end of March.
Jeg vil takke opposisjonspartienes ledere for samarbeidet gjennom de kritiske døgnene i slutten av mars.
The fact that there is broad-based consensus on foreign policy and that the Storting supported Norway’s participation in the operation is one of our country’s strengths.
Det er en styrke for et land som Norge at utenrikspolitikken forankres bredt, og at Stortinget stilte seg bak norsk deltakelse i operasjonen.
They establish that a state’s authorities are responsible for protecting their own population, and confirm that use of military force against the state’s own population may constitute a threat to international peace and security.
De slår fast at et lands myndigheter har ansvar for å beskytte egen befolkning mot overgrep, og de bekrefter at bruk av militær makt mot egen befolkning kan anses som en trussel mot internasjonal fred og sikkerhet.
Norway has long sought to ensure that the principle of non-interference set out in the UN Charter should not stand in the way of international intervention to protect a population from massive atrocities perpetrated by its own government.
Norge har lenge arbeidet for at FN-paktens prinsipp om ikke-innblanding ikke skal kunne stå i veien for internasjonal inngripen for å beskytte befolkningen mot massive overgrep fra egne makthavere.
This understanding of the principle has now been further strengthened by these Security Council resolutions.
Nå er dette prinsippet ytterligere styrket gjennom disse beslutningene i FNs sikkerhetsråd.
It is important for Norway that this development takes place within the framework of the UN and that it is not used as a pretext by individual countries and groups to take the law into their own hands without a mandate under international law.
For Norge er det viktig at denne utviklingen skjer innenfor rammen av FN - og ikke blir et påskudd for enkeltland og grupper til å ta seg til rette uten folkerettslig mandat.
It is also historic that the international community authorised the use of military force to protect the civilian population of Libya once it had established that Gaddafi’s regime had no intention of complying with the requirement set out in Security Council resolution 1970 to end the violence against its own civilian population.
Det er også historisk at det internasjonale samfunn – etter å ha slått fast at Gaddafis regime ikke hadde til hensikt å etterleve kravet i resolusjon 1970, om å stanse voldshandlingene mot sin egen befolkning - autoriserte bruk av militære tiltak for å beskytte sivilbefolkningen.
Resolutions 1970 and 1973 also give the international community a mandate to bring about a political process that fulfils the Libyan people’s legitimate demands for protection, participation and development.
Resolusjonene 1970 og 1973 gir også det internasjonale samfunn et mandat for å utvirke en politisk prosess som kan besvare det libyske folkets legitime krav om beskyttelse, medbestemmelse og utvikling.
The international community is encouraged to provide humanitarian assistance, while at the same time demanding humanitarian access to all those in need of assistance.
Det internasjonale samfunn oppfordres til å bidra med humanitær bistand, samtidig som det kreves humanitær adgang til alle som har behov for hjelp.
In Norway’s view, it is important that the humanitarian, political and military dimensions of the resolutions are followed up and that a coherent approach is taken.
Fra norsk side er vi opptatt av at både de humanitære, politiske og militære dimensjoner i resolusjonene følges opp, og at disse ses i sammenheng.
This is, of course, a demanding task, and success will depend on the overall effort.
Naturligvis er dette krevende, og det er den helhetlige innsatsen som er helt avgjørende for å lykkes.
Let me add that in resolution 1970, the Security Council decided to refer the situation in Libya to the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
La meg legge til her at FNs sikkerhetsråd henviste i resolusjon 1970 situasjonen i Libya til Den internasjonale straffedomstolens (ICCs) hovedanklager.
In the Chief Prosecutor’s first briefing to the Security Council, which was held last Wednesday (4 May), he made it clear that he would seek arrest warrants in the coming weeks against three individuals who, in his view, bear the greatest criminal responsibility for crimes against humanity in Libya.
I hovedanklagerens første orientering for rådet sist onsdag (4. mai) gjorde han det klart at han i løpet av de kommende ukene vil utstede arrestordre mot tre personer som han mener bærer det største ansvaret for forbrytelser mot menneskeheten i Libya.
The names of the three are not specified, but it is assumed that they are people who hold key positions in the Libyan security forces.
Personene er ikke navngitt, men de antas å være personer som innehar nøkkelstillinger i Libyas sikkerhetsapparat.
According to the Chief Prosecutor, additional cases could be opened, for example for war crimes, as the investigation proceeds.
Ifølge hovedanklageren vil ytterligere saker - blant annet for krigsforbrytelser – kunne bli fremmet etter hvert som etterforskningen skrider frem.
The Chief Prosecutor also indicated that arrest warrants could be sought for war crimes perpetrated by both sides in the conflict.
Hovedanklageren har også antydet at begjæring om arrestordre kan bli fremmet for krigsforbrytelser begått av begge parter i konflikten.
The debate in the Security Council last week confirms that the Chief Prosecutor still has the full support of the Council in his efforts in connection with the situation in Libya.
Debatten i Sikkerhetsrådet i forrige uke bekrefter at hovedanklageren fortsatt har full støtte i rådet for sitt arbeid med situasjonen i Libya.
Norway fully supports the ICC’s important efforts to investigate and prosecute those responsible for serious international crimes committed in Libya.
Norge støtter fullt ut domstolens viktige arbeid i å etterforske og straffeforfølge grove internasjonale forbrytelser begått i Libya.
The current military operation is extensive and includes protection of civilians, a no-fly zone and an arms embargo.
Den militære operasjonen som pågår er omfattende og inkluderer både beskyttelse av sivile, en flyforbudssone og våpenembargo.
The Minister of Defence will address the Storting in more detail on Norway’s participation in the military operation.
Forsvarsministeren vil redegjøre nærmere for den norske militære innsatsen.
We must bear in mind that Security Council resolution 1973 contains no time limits.
Vi skal huske på at resolusjon 1973 ikke har noen tidsbegrensninger.
Nor have we stipulated a deadline for Norway’s support for the implementation of the resolution.
Vi har heller ikke satt noen tidsfrist for Norges støtte til gjennomføring av resolusjonen.
It is important to show resolve in our implementation of the provisions of the resolution.
Det er viktig å vise fasthet i gjennomføringen av resolusjonens bestemmelser.
Norway will continue to do its share in this respect.
Dette vil Norge fortsette å bidra til.
Norway’s contribution has been singled out as being substantial and effective.
Norges bidrag blir trukket frem som substansielle og effektive.
Our military forces deserve praise and recognition for their efforts.
Våre militære fortjener ros og anerkjennelse for sin innsats.
