We share the view that this should be closely coordinated, with all the countries involved, informing one another at an early stage of all the steps to take, including the lines of communication to be used, so that the operational capability of the ISAF forces is maintained while supporting the Afghan National Security Forces until late 2014.

Competition Law being enforced on Svalbard
Konkurranselov også på Svalbard
Now the Norwegian government is going to fulfill that wish.
Det ønsket akter regjeringen nå å innfri.
It is proposed that the Law is made applicable in its entirety, with the exception of provisions regulating the relations to the EEA Agreement, as this is not applicable on the archipelago.
Konkurranseloven foreslås innført i sin helhet med unntak av bestemmelser som regulerer forholdet til EØS-avtalen, ettersom avtalen ikke gjelder for øygruppen.
Over the last few years, there has been a gradual increase in business and economic activity on the archipelago, with increased focus on markets and competition.
Det har de siste årene skjedd en gradvis vekst i næringsvirksomheten på øygruppen med økt søkelys på markeder og konkurranse.

'Education is vital for the children's future.
- Utdanning er kritisk viktig for barnas fremtid.
We are now taking new and innovative steps to give children fleeing from war educational opportunities,' said Børge Brende, Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Vi tar nå nye og innovative grep for å gi utdanningsmuligheter til barn på flukt fra krig, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
Norway is fronting an initiative to develop a smartphone application that can help Syrian children to learn how to read, and improve their psychosocial wellbeing.
Norge tar initiativ til å utvikle en læringsapplikasjon for smarttelefoner som kan hjelpe syriske barn å lære å lese, og bedre deres psykososiale situasjon.
This will take the form of an international innovation competition in cooperation with Norwegian and international partners.
Dette skjer i form av en internasjonal innovasjonskonkurranse, i samarbeid med norske og internasjonale partnere.
The application will be a game-based learning tool in Arabic, intended as a learning supplement for use in the home.
Applikasjonen skal være et spillbasert læringsverktøy på arabisk, ment som et læringssupplement til bruk i hjemmet.
The aim is to develop several applications in the first half of 2016, and these will then be tested so that the best application can be put to use as soon as possible.
Målet er at flere applikasjoner skal bli utviklet i løpet av første halvår av 2016 og deretter bli testet, slik at den beste kan tas i bruk så fort som mulig.
'Naturally we want all children to have the opportunity to attend school.
- Vi ønsker helst at alle barn skal ha mulighet til å gå på skolen.
Unfortunately, reality is not like that.
Dessverre er virkeligheten en annen.
Many children are deprived of schooling and the last four years alone there have been more than 4 000 attacks on Syrian schools', Brende said.
Mange barn får ikke skolegang, og bare de siste fire årene har det vært mer enn 4000 angrep mot syriske skoler, sier Brende.
A large proportion of Syrian refugees have access to a smartphone, which is necessary to ensure that such a project has a broad reach.
En stor andel av syriske flyktninger har tilgang til smarttelefon, hvilket er nødvendig for å kunne nå bredt ut med et slikt prosjekt.
Possible contributors in disciplines such as computer games technology, Arabic, education in crisis, educational theory and psychology are invited to take part in international dialogue conferences in Oslo on 26 October and in Washington on 29 October.
Mulige bidragsytere innen fagdisipliner som spillteknologi, arabisk språk, utdanning i krise, pedagogikk og psykologi inviteres til å delta på internasjonale dialogkonferanser i Oslo 26. oktober og i Washington 29. oktober.
Norway launches the competition in cooperation with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), the All Children Reading: A Grand Challenge for Development-partnership, the mobile operator Orange and the Inter-Agency Network for Emergency Education (INEE).

‘Human rights are well protected in Norway.
- Menneskerettighetene er godt beskyttet i Norge.
The new complaints procedures differ from those under other conventions to which Norway is a party.
De nye ordningene skiller seg fra klageordningene til andre konvensjoner hvor Norge er med.
Another example is the ‘principle of the best interests of the child’.
Et annet eksempel er «prinsippet om barnets beste».
As regards persons with disabilities, the relevant UN committee currently interprets the scope of the convention more widely than most states parties.
Når det gjelder mennesker med nedsatt funksjonsevne, tolker FN-komiteen i dag konvensjonen mer vidtrekkende enn statene.
Examples include the provisions on the withdrawal of legal capacity in the Guardianship Act and the provisions on compulsory treatment in the Mental Health Act and the Act relating to municipal health and care services.
Dette gjelder blant annet bestemmelsene om fratakelse av rettslig handleevne i vergemålsloven og bestemmelsene om tvang i lov om psykisk helsevern og helse- og omsorgstjenesteloven.
To bring Norwegian law fully into compliance with the committee’s recommendations would have unforeseeable consequences and involve major amendments to the legislation.
Dersom norsk rett skal bringes fullt ut i samsvar med komiteens anbefalinger vil det ha uoversiktlige konsekvenser og innebære omfattende endringer i norsk lov.
‘The white paper describes how the relevant UN treaty bodies deal with individual complaints.
- I meldingen redegjøres det for hvordan saksbehandlingen til de aktuelle konvensjonsorganene fungerer.
Before we entrust the interpretation of important political issues to international bodies, we must be sure that cases will be handled satisfactorily,’ said the Foreign Minister.
Før vi overlater tolkningen av viktige politiske spørsmål til internasjonale organer må vi være sikre på at behandlingen er forsvarlig, sier utenriksminister Brende.
It is important to retain room for weighing up different political considerations,’ said Mr Brende.
Det er et politisk handlingsrom det er viktig å ivareta, sier utenriksminister Brende.
Norway is a party to most of the UN human rights conventions, and the Government is actively working to strengthen the implementation of human rights both nationally and internationally.
Norge er part i de fleste av FNs konvensjoner om menneskerettigheter og regjeringen arbeider aktivt for å styrke gjennomføringen av menneskerettighetene både nasjonalt og internasjonalt.
Norway is a key supporter of human rights work in the UN in both political and economic terms.
Norge er en sentral støttespiller for menneskerettighetsarbeidet i FN, politisk og økonomisk.

Since the peace agreement was signed in 2005, Aceh has enjoyed broad autonomy, and has implemented sharia law to some degree.
