Norway welcomes the release of political prisoners in Cuba
Glade for løslatelse av politiske fanger på Cuba
Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre commented: “Norway, together with the EU, has steadfastly demanded the unconditional release of political prisoners in Cuba.
- Norge har sammen med EU vært ufravikelige i kravet om betingelsesløs frigivelse av de politiske fangene på Cuba.
With the release of these prisoners, all the 75 people who were imprisoned following mass arrests in March 2003 will have been set free.
Gjennom frigivelse av disse fangene vil alle de 75 personene som ble fengslet under massearrestasjonene i mars 2003 være løslatt.
The undertaking to release the prisoners is the result of an intense negotiation process between the Communist Party and the Catholic Church in Cuba, supported by the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Miguel Ángel Moratinos.
Løftet om frigivelse av fangene er et resultat av en intens forhandlingsprosess mellom Kommunistpartiet og den katolske kirken på Cuba, støttet av Spanias utenriksminister Miguel Ángel Moratinos.
“It’s good that the dialogue that the Vatican and the Spanish Government have had with the Cuban authorities has produced results.
- Det er positivt at den dialogen Vatikanet og den spanske regjeringen har hatt med kubanske myndigheter har ført til resultater.
I commend them for their work,” said Mr Støre.
Jeg vil berømme dem for dette arbeidet, sier utenriksminister Støre.
Norway has supported the efforts to get the prisoners released.
Norge har støttet arbeidet med å få fangene frigitt.
We have normalised our relations with Cuba, and have a direct dialogue with the Cuban authorities.
Vi har normalisert forbindelsene med Cuba, og ført en direkte dialog med kubanske myndigheter.
This includes discussions on human rights and the demand for the release of political prisoners.
Den omfatter også menneskerettigheter og krav om frigivelse av politiske fanger.
This is a positive step forward.
- Dette er et positivt skritt.
Now this development must continue.
Nå må utviklingen gå videre.
In our contact with Cuba, we will continue to focus on the need to strengthen human rights and the development of democracy in the country,” said Mr Støre.
I kontakten med Cuba vil vi fortsette med å fokusere på behovet for å styrke menneskerettighetene og demokratiutviklingen i landet, sier utenriksminister Støre.
An increasing number of countries are renewing ties with Cuba.
Stadig flere land har gjenopptatt direkte forbindelser med Cuba.
The EU resumed its political dialogue with Cuba in 2008 with human rights as a key issue.
EU gjenopptok den politiske dialogen med Cuba hvor menneskerettigheter utgjør en sentral del i 2008.

Cultural cooperation between Egypt and Norway
Norge og Egypt etablerer kultursamarbeid
Publisher Ministry of Culture and Church Affairs
Utgiver: Kultur- og kirkedepartementet
The gathering was a follow-up of the recommendations of a first meeting in Luxor, Egypt in October 2007 concerning dialogue and cross-cultural understanding, where the idea of Norwegian- Egyptian cultural cooperation within specific fields was launched.
Samlingen var en oppfølging av et lignende møte i Luxor oktober 2007 om dialog og mellommenneskelig forståelse, hvor ideen om norsk-egyptisk kultursamarbeid ble lansert.
Conclusions of the Second Meeting on Cultural Cooperation between Egypt and Norway
Konklusjoner fra Det andre møtet om kultursamarbeid mellom Egypt og Norge
We have been horrified by the wanton destruction of ancient cultural treasures in Iraq and Syria in recent weeks.
Det er med forferdelse vi den siste tiden har vært vitne til den brutale raseringen av flere tusen års gamle kulturskatter i Syria og Irak.
The ancient sites that are now being systematically destroyed have been identified by Unesco as some of the world’s most important cultural heritage sites.
Oldtidsstedene som nå systematisk ødelegges er av Unesco utpekt som noen av verdens viktigste felles kulturarvsteder.
The destruction of cultural heritage that is taking place is dramatic, not just for the local population in the areas concerned, but for the whole of humanity.
Den destruksjon av kulturarv som pågår er dramatisk, ikke bare for lokalbefolkningen, men for hele menneskeheten.
Such actions are considered to be war crimes.
Disse handlingene er å anse som krigsforbrytelser.
Irreplaceable cultural artefacts and objects of unique historical significance are being stolen from museums and libraries or looted from archaeological digs before being smuggled across borders for sale in Europe and elsewhere.
Uerstattelige kulturgjenstander av unik historisk betydning stjeles fra museer og biblioteker, eller plyndres fra arkeologiske utgravningssteder før de smugles over grensene for salg i Europa og andre steder.
Norway has a general prohibition on imports of and trade in cultural objects that have been unlawfully exported from other countries, and this also applies to objects from Iraq and Syria.
I Norge gjelder forbud mot innførsel og omsetning av kulturgjenstander som er ulovlig utført fra Irak og Syria.
In addition, the Government has recently provided financial support for Unesco’s Emergency Response Action Plan to safeguard Iraqi heritage in order to prevent illicit trade in cultural objects.
Regjeringen har i tillegg nylig gitt økonomisk støtte til Unescos handlingsplan for Irak for å forhindre ulovlig handel med kulturgjenstander.
All affected actors, potential buyers and relevant authorities are therefore urged to exercise due diligence when dealing with objects that may originate from Syria or Iraq.
Alle berørte aktører, potensielle kjøpere og aktuelle myndigheter oppfordres derfor om å utvise særlig aktsomhet når det gjelder gjenstander som kan stamme fra Syria eller Irak.
This applies to experts and researchers, collectors and enterprises such as art dealers, antiques dealers and museums, and public bodies.
Dette gjelder fagmiljøer, samlere og næringsdrivende som kunsthandlere, antikvarer og museer, samt offentlige etater.
If there is any reason to suspect that a cultural object may have been illicitly imported, the Norwegian National Authority for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime (Økokrim) should be contacted.
Ved mistanke om at en gjenstand kan være ulovlig innført skal Økokrim kontaktes.

Cultural or academic boycott of Israeli: - Not part of Norwegian Policy
Akademisk boikott av Israel: - Ikke norsk politikk
Moreover, a boycott would contravene principles of academic freedom protected by law.
Å vedta en boikott vil dessuten bryte med lovfestede prinsipper om akademisk frihet.
Our universities and colleges are obliged to promote academic freedom through accepted ethical and scientific principles of open discourse.
Våre universiteter og høyskoler skal fremme akademisk frihet ved å følge anerkjente etiske og vitenskapelige prinsipper om åpenhet.
Conversely, the board of a college or a university also cannot impose not to collaborate with researchers from Israel or any other country.
Styret ved institusjonen kan imidlertid ikke pålegge forskere ikke å samarbeide med forskere fra Israel eller andre land.
As regards the role of academic boards and institutions it is completely legitimate to discuss any issue submitted.
Når det gjelder styrenes og institusjonenes rolle, så må det være helt legitimt å diskutere enhver sak som fremmes.
This pertains to the series of lectures dealing with the Middle East conflict and the pamphlets received by the NTNU board.
Det gjelder forelesningsrekken om konflikten i Midt-Østen og de oppropene som NTNUs styre har mottatt.
The pamphlets, as mentioned, are addressed to the NTNU board and will be considered as a normal point of business at the meeting on 12 November 2009.
Oppropene er som sagt adressert til styret ved NTNU, og behandles som en sak på deres møte 12. november 2009.
