Norway has actively advocated these principles, and has set an example by implementing them in relation to Norwegian development assistance.
Norge har vært en pådriver for dette, og vi har vært ledende i å iverksette disse prinsippene i norsk bistand.
Norway has sought to focus its efforts on key development areas, such as education, rural development, good governance and women’s rights.
Fra norsk side har vi arbeidet for å konsentrere den norske innsatsen rundt sentrale utviklingsområder, som utdanning, landsbygdutvikling, godt styresett og kvinners rettigheter.
The Afghan Government must be held accountable for its actions.
Den afghanske regjeringen skal holdes ansvarlig for sine handlinger.
Increased self-government in Afghanistan does not mean that no demands will be made.
Men økt afghansk selvstyre er ikke ensbetydende med fravær av krav.
We will call attention to any Afghan breaches of international standards and obligations.
Vi vil påtale afghanske brudd på inter-nasjonale standarder og forpliktelser.
This applies not least to the area of human rights, where we have witnessed a number of worrying trends, especially relating to the situation of women.
Ikke minst gjelder dette på menneskerettighetsområdet der vi har sett en rekke bekymringsfulle utviklingstrekk, blant annet knyttet til kvinners situasjon.
It will take time to strengthen the power and influence of women in Afghan society.
Å styrke kvinners innflytelse og makt i det afghanske samfunnet tar tid.
We are sharing our experience and supporting the UN, the Afghan authorities and civil society in their efforts to strengthen the rights of women and girls in Afghanistan.
Vi bidrar med våre erfaringer og støtter både FN, afghanske myndigheter og det sivile samfunn i arbeidet for å styrke kvinners og jenters rettigheter i Afghanistan.
Norway is the largest donor to the UN organisation for women in Afghanistan, UN Women.
Norge er den største giveren til FNs kvinneorgan i Afghanistan, UN Women.
By supporting UN Women, we have helped to set up the Afghan Resource Centre for Women in Politics, and supported the National Action Plan for the Women of Afghanistan.
Gjennom denne støtten har vi bidratt til opprettelse av et eget ressurssenter for kvinner i politikk, samt støttet opp under den afghanske nasjonale handlingsplanen for kvinner.
Through the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women, we have helped to set up at least five women’s crisis centres and to further develop the Ministry of Women’s Affairs’ national database on violence against women.
Gjennom FNs fond for bekjempelse av vold mot kvinner har vi bidratt til opprettelsen av minst fem krisesentre for kvinner og til videreutvikling av Kvinneministeriets statistikkdatabase over vold mot kvinner.
This is an important tool in assessing the scale of violence against women in Afghanistan, which remains a serious challenge.
Dette er et viktig redskap i kartleggingen av omfanget av vold mot kvinner i Afghanistan, der mye fremdeles gjenstår.
Let me add that Norwegians posted to Afghanistan, together with representatives of the other Nordic countries, often meet Afghan women and give them advice and support in their efforts to achieve more rights.
La meg legge til at norske utsendte medarbeidere ofte møter afghanske kvinner og bidrar med råd og støtte i deres arbeid for økte rettigheter, sammen med de andre nordiske landene.
We also provide considerable support for the police force in Afghanistan, and we have 23 police advisers in the country; seven in Kabul and 16 in Meymaneh, Faryab.
Vi gir også betydelig bistand på politisiden i Afghanistan, og har blant annet 23 politirådgivere i landet, syv i Kabul og 16 i Meymaneh, Faryab.
The main focus of our efforts is on the EU Police Mission in Afghanistan (EUPOL), in Faryab province.
Hovedtyngden av vår innsats er konsentrert om EUs politimisjon i Faryab.
Here we are making an important contribution to efforts to build up the Afghan police force and train it to protect the civilian population and safeguard the rights of Afghan citizens.
Med dette gir vi et bidrag i arbeidet med å bygge opp og trene politi for beskyttelse av sivilbefolkningen og deres rettigheter.
The task is challenging for the Norwegian police advisers who, in cooperation with the Afghan authorities and EUPOL, have been helping the police in Faryab province to improve their professional expertise.
Oppdraget er utfordrende og krevende også for de norske politirådgiverne, som i samarbeid med afghanske myndigheter og EUs politimisjon arbeider for at politiet i Faryab skal øke sin politifaglige kompetanse.
These efforts focus on how police services can be carried out in such a way as to benefit the population as a whole and to safeguard the principles of the rule of law, including gender equality.
Innsatsen rettes inn mot at polititjeneste skal utføres til beste for hele befolkningen og at rettsstatlige prinsipper er ivaretatt, herunder likestilling.
A large share of Norwegian assistance to Afghan budgets and programmes is channelled through the World Bank Multi-donor Trust Fund and the UN.
Vi kanaliserer en større del av norsk bistand via Verdensbankens flergiverfond og via FN, til afghanske budsjetter og programmer.
Our aim is to enable the Afghan authorities themselves to manage the funds, but we have to accept that it will take time before the Afghan institutions can take full responsibility for running all the development projects and providing all the necessary public services.
Vårt ønske er at afghanske myndigheter selv skal kunne forvalte midlene, men vi må erkjenne at det fortsatt vil ta tid før det afghanske myndighetsapparatet kan ta fullt ansvar for å drive alle utviklingsprosjekter og selv å yte alle nødvendige offentlige tjenester.
In the civil sphere, the transition to Afghan leadership therefore means that we must facilitate the Afghan takeover and running of projects and services that have been built up over the last few years by the international community.
Transisjon betyr derfor på den sivile siden at vi tilrettelegger for at afghanerne selv kan overta og drive det som er bygget opp i de siste årene av det internasjonale samfunn.
We give priority to projects that can generate employment, economic growth and revenues for the Afghan Treasury.
Vi legger større vekt på prosjekter som kan generere sysselsetting, økonomisk vekst og inntekter til statskassen.
Otherwise, the Afghan people may risk being left with a whole range of valuable projects that they do not have the capacity or opportunity to maintain and continue.
Dersom det ikke skjer kan afghanerne risikere å sitte igjen med en lang rekke verdifulle prosjekter som de ikke har kapasitet eller anledning til å vedlikeholde og videreføre.
In the long term, Afghanistan has significant potential due to its rich natural resources.
På sikt har Afghanistan et betydelig potensial i landets rike naturressurser.
It is important to lay the groundwork for sound management and distribution policies so that the revenues from the natural resources benefit the population as a whole.
Det er viktig å legge rammene for et godt forvaltnings- og fordelingsregime slik at inntektene kommer befolkningen til gode.
Norway is helping the Afghan authorities to develop a national energy policy through the Oil for Development programme.
Vi bistår afghanske myndigheter med å utvikle en nasjonal energipolitikk gjennom Olje for utviklingsprogrammet.
In the long term, the opportunities for economic and social reconstruction in Afghanistan lie in the exploitation of the country’s natural resources and the development of its human resources.
Mulighetene for å gjenreise Afghanistan økonomisk og sosialt ligger på lang sikt i utviklingen av landets naturressurser sammen med de menneskelige ressursene.
Corruption is perhaps the greatest obstacle to projects of this kind being realised for the benefit of Afghanistan.
Korrupsjon utgjør kanskje det aller viktigste hinder for at slike prosjekter kan realiseres til beste for Afghanistan.
At the beginning of my address, I mentioned the strong economic growth and the fact that the wheels of business that generate Afghan growth and employment are now turning faster.
Jeg viste innledningsvis til god økonomisk vekst og økt fart i de næringshjulene som må rulle for å drive afghansk vekst og sysselsetting.
But increased turnover and business activities also increase the risk of corruption.
Med økt omsetning og aktivitet øker også muligheter for korrupsjon.
We must set clear requirements and support effective measures for combating corruption.
Vi må stille klare krav og støtte virksomme tiltak mot korrupsjon.
We will continue to channel some of our assistance through Norwegian, international and Afghan NGOs, insofar as this is effective.
Der dette er effektivt vil vi fortsatt kanalisere deler av vår bistand gjennom norske, internasjonale og afghanske frivillige organisasjoner.
Some of our assistance will still go to humanitarian relief in the time ahead.
Deler av bistanden vil fortsatt gå til ren humanitær nødhjelp også fremover.
If these areas are combined, this will eventually undermine both military and civilian efforts.
En sammenblanding svekker over tid både den militære og den sivile innsatsen.
The idea that aid can be used in a military context as a tool for winning “hearts and minds” is short-sighted, especially in a country where loyalties and alliances shift as frequently as they do in Afghanistan.
Tanken om at vi kan bruke bistand i militær regi som et virkemiddel for å vinne ”sinn og hjerter” er korttenkt – særlig i et land der lojaliteter og allianser skifter så ofte.
Norway’s view in this area is beginning to resonate with a number of our allies and in a range of international forums, and is supported by key international research findings in this field.
Det synet Norge har fremført på dette feltet er i ferd med å vinne gjenklang blant flere av våre allierte og i en rekke internasjonale fora, og støttes av sentrale funn i internasjonal forskning på dette feltet.
Making a clear distinction between the roles of civilian and military actors does not mean that we are opposed to close coordination between the areas.
En klar grense mot sammenblanding betyr ikke et nei til tett koordinering.
On the contrary, as I have said in this chamber before, we aim to have close cooperation – but to avoid confusion.
Tvert i mot, som jeg sagt her i Stortinget tidligere: Vi vil ha et tett samvirke – men unngå samrøre.
In Norway’s view, it is still essential to protect the humanitarian space, while at the same time ensuring that military and civilian efforts are mutually reinforcing and do not undermine each other.
For Norge er det fortsatt avgjørende at vi beskytter det humanitære rom, samtidig som militær og sivil innsats må støtte og ikke undergrave hverandre.
Afghanistan has received considerable international civilian assistance.
Afghanistan har mottatt betydelig internasjonal sivil bistand.
Figures from the Afghan Ministry of Finance show that the international community provided just over NOK 310 billion during the 2002¬–2010 period.
Tall fra det afghanske finansministeriet viser at det internasjonale samfunnet fra 2002 til 2010 utbetalte drøyt 310 milliarder kroner.
The US provided over NOK 202 billion of this.
USA stod for i overkant av 202 milliarder.
Norway has provided over NOK 5.3 billion.
Norge har bidratt med over 5,3 milliarder kroner.
Despite these international development assistance efforts, the country still faces huge challenges.
Tross denne internasjonale utviklingsinnsatsen er det ennå enorme utfordringer som gjenstår i Afghanistan.
These challenges cannot be solved by development assistance alone.
De kan ikke løses av bistand alene.
Both the transition to Afghan leadership and political developments are constantly altering the conditions for aid.
Så vel transisjon som politisk utvikling bidrar til stadige endringer i forutsetningene for bistand.
Norwegian assistance must therefore be both flexible and adaptable.
Norsk bistand må dermed være både fleksibel og tilpasningsdyktig.
Our efforts are evaluated continuously, and a comprehensive review of Norway’s assistance to Afghanistan over the last 10 years is scheduled for this autumn.
Vår innsats er stadig til evaluering, og til høsten planlegges det en større gjennomgang av norsk bistandsinnsats i Afghanistan de siste 10 år.
This will give us valuable insight into the effects of the Norwegian efforts so far and how they should be organised in the time ahead.
Dette vil gi oss verdifull innsikt om hvordan den norske innsatsen har virket og hvordan den kan innrettes videre.
We note that there is great uncertainty and concern in Afghanistan as to what the international community’s intentions are on the civilian side once the military forces have been withdrawn.
Vi registrerer stor usikkerhet og uro hos afghanerne om hva som er det internasjonale samfunnets intensjoner på sivil side etter at de militære styrkene trekkes ut.
The Afghans fear being abandoned once again, as they experienced when the Soviet Union pulled out of the country.
De frykter igjen å bli overlatt til seg selv slik de opplevde da Sovjetunionen trakk seg ut av landet.
It is too early today to say whether Norway will maintain the same high level of assistance beyond 2012.
Det er for tidlig i dag å si at bistanden vil bli videreført på samme høye nivå utover 2012.
But the Government presumes that we will continue to be engaged in the areas of development and humanitarian assistance for many years to come, beyond the transfer of military responsibility in 2014.
Men Regjeringen legger til grunn at vi vil ha et engasjement innen utvikling og humanitær assistanse i mange år fremover, utover 2014 som er året for gjennomført overføring av det militære ansvaret.
We have been involved in Afghanistan for ten years – and they have been ten demanding years.
Ti år med innsats i Afghanistan – det har vært ti krevende år.
Norwegians serving in both military and civil operations have made enormous efforts, at a personal cost for each individual and their families and loved ones.
Nordmenn – i militær og sivil tjeneste – har nedlagt et stort arbeid, med personlige belastninger for hver enkelt og deres familier og nærmeste krets.
All of us who regularly visit Afghanistan have been impressed by the engagement and resolve shown by those serving in the country.
Det har gjort inntrykk på alle vi som jevnlig besøker landet å se engasjementet og seriøsiteten som gjennomgående motiverer de som er i tjeneste i Afghanistan.
They are motivated by the opportunity to make a difference for their fellow human beings.
De er motivert av å kunne gjøre en forskjell for medmennesker.
They deserve our respect and consideration, and when the situation calls for it, our sympathy and support.
De fortjener vår respekt, omtanke og når situasjonen krever det; medfølelse og støtte.
We have suffered too many painful losses.
Vi har hatt smertefulle tap, hvert av dem er ett for mange.
We remember and honour our fallen in Afghanistan – our soldiers and officers who have paid the ultimate price for Norway’s engagement.
Vi minnes og hedrer våre falne i Afghanistan - våre soldater og offiserer som har betalt den høyeste prisen for Norges engasjement.
Five more Norwegians have been killed since my last address on this subject.
Fem navn er kommet til siden forrige gang jeg holdt denne redegjørelsen.
There are now 10 names on the list of those who have given their lives in Afghanistan: Siri Skare, Trond André Bolle, Christian Lian, Simen Tokle, Andreas Eldjarn, Claes Joachim Olsson, Trond Petter Kolset, Kristoffer Sørli Jørgensen, Tor Arne Lau-Henriksen, and Tommy Rødningsby.
Det står nå ti navn på denne tragiske listen: Siri Skare, Trond André Bolle, Christian Lian, Simen Tokle, Andreas Eldjarn, Claes Joachim Olsson, Trond Petter Kolset, Kristoffer Sørli Jørgensen, Tor Arne Lau-Henriksen og Tommy Rødningsby.
Norway will always remember their efforts and sacrifice with gratitude and respect.
Norge vil for alltid minnes deres innsats og offer med takknemlighet og respekt.
There are also many Norwegians who have been wounded as a result of the military activity.
I tillegg er mange blitt såret som følge av den militære aktiviteten.
The Norwegian Armed Forces Medical Services are now examining all 7300 service records in order to register injuries and illness among personnel who have served in Afghanistan.
Forsvarets Sanitet gjennomfører nå undersøkelser av samtlige 7300 journaler for å registrere skader og sykdom blant personell som har tjenestegjort i Afghanistan.
In the midst of all the challenges we face, we must believe in the possibilities; we must believe that a brighter future is within reach for a proud people with a rich culture that has suffered too much and for too long.
Midt i alle utfordringene må vi motiveres av troen på mulighetene, at det innen rekkevidde finnes en lysere fremtid for et stolt folk med en rik kultur som har lidd for mye og for lenge.
The Afghan people themselves and we in the international community have achieved many good results.
Afghanerne selv og vi, det internasjonale samfunn, har mange og gode resultater å vise til.
We have sought to fulfil the UN’s mandate for our mission: to make sure that Afghanistan is no longer a safe haven for international terrorists.
Vi har søkt å gjennomføre det som er FNs mandat for vårt engasjement, at Afghanistan ikke lenger skal være et fristed for internasjonal terrorisme.
We have achieved this goal.
Det målet har vi nådd og befestet.
Our task in the time ahead will be to consolidate and build on what we have achieved.
Oppgaven fremover er å konsolidere og bygge videre på det vi har oppnådd.
We must be realistic and pragmatic when deciding what the international community can achieve in Afghanistan, and what the country’s government and people should take responsibility for themselves.
Vi må vise all mulig nøkternhet og realisme når vi skal legge listen for hva det internasjonale samfunn kan utrette i Afghanistan, og hva landets regjering og landets folk må ta ansvar for selv.
We must continue to work to bring about crucial progress, while at the same time maintaining what has been achieved and not giving up on the home stretch.
Vi skal arbeide videre for avgjørende fremskritt samtidig som vi holder stand og ikke gir oss på oppløpssiden.
