These were among the questions raised at a conference hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Oslo on 17 September 2014.
Dette var noen av spørsmålene som ble drøftet på en konferanse arrangert av Utenriksdepartementet i Oslo den 17. september 2014.
In his opening address Foreign Minister Brende pointed to a fast changing security landscape.
I sin åpningstale pekte utenriksminister Børge Brende på et sikkerhetspolitisk landskap i rask endring.
The world is facing a wide spectrum of globalised unconventional threats such as international terrorism, organised crime, cyber warfare and piracy.
Verden står overfor en rekke globale, ukonvensjonelle trusler, for eksempel internasjonal terrorisme, organisert kriminalitet, dataangrep og piratvirksomhet.
Hence, Norway will strengthen its efforts to counter such threats based on recommendations to be set out in an upcoming white paper.
Norge vil derfor styrke sin innsats for å møte slike trusler på grunnlag av anbefalinger som skal nedfelles i en kommende stortingsmelding.
“An already complex security landscape has been complicated further by transnational threats that are intertwined with the challenges of yesterday.
- Et allerede komplekst sikkerhetspolitisk landskap er blitt enda mer komplisert ved at grenseoverskridende trusler er blitt sammenvevd med gårsdagens utfordringer.
This conference will give valuable insight into our global security challenges – and help us refine the tools we need to counter them’, said Mr. Brende.
Denne konferansen vil gi verdifull innsikt i våre globale sikkerhetspolitiske utfordringer – og hjelpe oss med å omdefinere de verktøyene vi trenger for å møte dem, sa Brende.
The Minister of Defence, Ms. Ine Eriksen Søreide, underlined NATO’s role in the new security landscape.
Forsvarsminister Ine Eriksen Søreide understreket Natos rolle i det nye sikkerhetspolitiske landskapet.
Reversing European defence spending cuts will be vital for NATO to remain the unquestionable guarantor of transatlantic security.
Det vil være av avgjørende betydning at nedskjæringene i de europeiske forsvarsbudsjettene snus, slik at Nato fortsatt kan være den ubestridte garantisten for transatlantisk sikkerhet.
“Solving some of today’s most pressing challenges require concerted and multinational efforts.
- Løsningen på noen av vår tids mest presserende utfordringer krever samstemte og flernasjonale tiltak.
This is why Norway is investing, and will continue to invest in our NATO membership”, said Ms. Søreide.
Dette er grunnen til at Norge satser, og fortsatt kommer til å satse, på vårt Nato-medlemskap, sa Søreide.
Among the international experts addressing the conference were Pierre Lapaque, UNODC Regional Representative for West and Central Africa, Karl Eikenberry, Stanford University, former US Security coordinator and ambassador to Afghanistan and Professor Thomas Hegghammer, The Norwegian Defence Research Establishment.
Blant de internasjonale ekspertene som holdt innlegg på konferansen, var Pierre Lapaque, UNODCs regionale representant for Vest- og Sentral-Afrika, Karl Eikenberry fra Stanford University, tidligere amerikansk sikkerhetskoordinator og ambassadør i Afghanistan, og professor Thomas Hegghammer fra Forsvarets forskningsinstitutt.

Norway intends to transfer 10% of H1N1 vaccine stock to developing countries
Norge går inn for at utviklingsland får 10 prosent av H1N1-vaksinelager
- Our ability to protect ourselves against infections depends on other countries’ ability to protect themselves, said Norway’s Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
- Vår egen beskyttelse mot sykdommer henger sammen med andre lands evne til å beskytte seg, sier utenriksminister Støre.
“Pandemics do not respect national borders.
- Pandemier kjenner ingen landegrenser.
Our ability to protect ourselves against infections depends on other countries’ ability to protect themselves.
Derfor henger vår egen beskyttelse mot sykdommer sammen med andre lands evne til å beskytte seg.
The poorest countries are particularly vulnerable, and that is why this initiative is so important,” said Norway’s Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
De fattigste landene er særlig utsatte og derfor er dette krafttaket viktig, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
In Norway, the matter will be submitted to the Storting, which will take the final decision with regard to Norway’s contribution.
I Norge vil saken legges fram for Stortinget, som vil ta den endelige beslutningen når det gjelder det norske vaksinebidraget.
Mr Støre added: “This is an important initiative and a new form of global solidarity.
- Dette er et viktig initiativ og en ny form for global solidaritet.
The world’s poorest are already suffering due to weak health systems in many developing countries.
De fattigste lider allerede under svake helsesystemer i mange utviklingsland.
The pandemic is an additional burden.
I tillegg kommer nå pandemien.

Unacceptable statement by Hamas
Uakseptabel Hamas-uttalelse
“Khaled Meshaal’s statement is unacceptable, and it does not help to build confidence between the parties or to promote Palestinian unity,” commented Minister of Foreign Affairs Espen Barth Eide.
– Khaled Meshals uttalelse er uakseptabel, og bidrar hverken til tillit mellom partene eller til palestinsk samling, sier utenriksminister Espen Barth Eide.
These are prerequisites if the movement is to be accepted by the international community,” Mr Eide said.
Dette er en forutsetning for at bevegelsen skal aksepteres av det internasjonale samfunnet, sier Eide.
“Norway supports a two-state solution that allows Israel and a future Palestinian state to exist side by side in peace and security.
- Norge støtter en tostatsløsning hvor Israel og en fremtidig palestinsk stat kan eksistere side om side i fred og gjensidig trygghet.
Once again, I call on the parties to the conflict to return to the negotiating table and resume genuine negotiations,” Mr Eide said.
Jeg vil igjen oppfordre partene i konflikten til å gå tilbake til forhandlingsbordet og gjenoppta reelle forhandlinger, sier Eide.

Goddess saves the day in Cancun
Gudinne reddet klimaavtale i Cancun
There is an expectant atmosphere in the plenary hall at the UN Climate Change Conference on Friday evening.
I plenumsalen på FNs klimakonferanse er det fortettet stemning fredag kveld.
Patricia Espinosa, President of the Conference, is greeted with a standing ovation.
Møteleder Patricia Espinosa får stående applaus.
Her proposal for a climate compromise is finally to be discussed.
Nå skal endelig hennes forslag til klimakompromiss behandles.
But suddenly she is interrupted by shouts and hammering on the doors.
Men plutselig blir hun avbrutt av roping og dundring på dørene.
Some delegates from the group of developing countries have been delayed because of a consultation meeting, and in the meantime the plenary hall has filled up.
Noen delegater fra i u-landsgruppa er blitt forsinket på grunn av konsultasjonsmøte, og i mellomtiden er salen blitt full.
The security guards have fire safety instructions to follow, and have closed the doors.
Sikkerhetsvaktene har sin branninstruks og stenger dørene.
The symbolism is striking: the rich have closed the doors on the poor and are taking decisions over their heads.
Symbolikken er tung: De rike stenger de fattige ute og tar beslutninger over hodet på dem.
The lack of confidence from Copenhagen fizzles like radio static in the background.
Mistilliten fra København skurrer i bakgrunnen.
Patricia Espinosa immediately grasps what is happening and has the doors reopened.
Patricia Espinosa oppfatter straks situasjonen og sørger for å gjenåpne dørene.
The delegates from the developing countries file into the room, led by Claudio Salerno from Venezuela looking cross.
U-landsdelegatene kommer inn, anført av Venezuelas Claudia Salerno med ampert ansiktsuttrykk.
At worst, this experience could turn them against the text.
I verste fall kan denne opplevelsen få dem til å gå imot avtalen.
I met Claudia Salerno in Venezuela earlier this year.
Jeg møtte Claudia Salerno i Venezuela tidligere i år.
She was the one who showed us her bloodied hand on the last night in Copenhagen, after she had been hitting the table in an attempt to get speaking time.
Det var hun som viste fram sin blodige hånd den siste natten i København da hun hadde banket hardt i bordet for å få taletid.
Ms Espinosa makes an unreserved apology.
Espinosa kommer med en uforbeholden beklagelse.
After 48 hours of intense consultations, she has presented a balanced solution, in which all countries have both gained something and lost something.
Etter to døgns intense konsultasjoner har hun lagt fram en balansert løsning der alle land har fått noe og gitt noe.
It is so balanced that it could gain the support of all countries.
Den er så balansert at den kan få støtte fra alle land.
But it is a case of take it or leave it.
Men det er «take it or leave it».
If anyone wants to remove or change any points, everything will have to be renegotiated.
Hvis noen vil fjerne eller endre elementer i avtalen, blir det full omkamp om alt.
The future of the Kyoto Protocol has been one of the thorniest issues.
Kyoto-protokollens framtid har vært et av de vanskeligste spørsmålene.
Japan has said that it will not ratify a second commitment period of the Protocol.
Japan sier klart nei til en ny forpliktelsesperiode.
The developing countries will not accept an agreement that does not include an extension of Kyoto.
U-landene vil ikke gå med på noen avtale hvis ikke Kyoto videreføres.
It is difficult to find a compromise between two positions that are mutually exclusive.
Det er vanskelig å finne et kompromiss mellom to synspunkter som gjensidig utelukker hverandre.
Ms Espinosa’s text proposes that work on a new commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol should be completed as soon as possible, but without clarifying all the conditions.
Espinosas tekst sier at man skal ferdigstille arbeidet med en ny forpliktelsesperiode under Kyotoprotokollen så raskt som mulig, men uten at alle betingelser er klarlagt.
