UN adopts Norwegian proposal regarding human rights defenders 
FN vedtok norsk forslag om MR-forsvarere
“Norway has been giving high priority to supporting the efforts of human rights defenders for a number of years,” said Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. 
- Det har vært en merkesak for Norge i flere år å støtte arbeidet for menneskerettighetsforsvarerne, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
“The fact that we have secured the broad support of the UN for this mandate is essential for their further efforts. 
- At vi nå har sikret fortsatt bred støtte i FN til dette mandatet er viktig for deres videre arbeid.
Many countries would like to restrict human rights defenders’ activities and manoeuvrability. 
Mange land ønsker å begrense menneskerettighetsforsvarernes virksomhet og handlingsrom.
It was therefore very difficult to reach agreement on the text, which was unanimously adopted in the UN Human Rights Council. 
Det var derfor svært krevende å oppnå enighet om teksten, som ble enstemmig vedtatt i FNs menneskerettighetsråd.
The Special Rapporteur conducts country visits and responds to a great many enquiries from human rights defenders all over the world. 
Spesialrapportøren gjennomfører landbesøk og reagerer på en lang rekke henvendelser fra menneskerettighetsforsvarere fra hele verden.
“The Council’s decision provides a good basis for the UN Special Rapporteur’s important efforts to protect human rights defenders. 
- Vedtaket danner et godt grunnlag for det viktige arbeidet FNs spesialrapportør skal utføre for å beskytte menneskerettighetsforsvarere.
The mandate is an important step in enhancing the international community’s ability to react to human rights violations and oppression,” said the Foreign Minister. 
Mandatet er et viktig ledd i å styrke det internasjonale samfunnets evne til å reagere på menneskerettighetsbrudd og undertrykking, sier utenriksminister Støre.

UN important for safeguarding Norway’s interests 
FN er viktig for norske interesser
The Government presented a new white paper on Norway and the UN today. 
Regjeringen la 21. september fram en ny melding til Stortinget om Norge og FN.
“The UN has been and continues to be essential to our efforts to promote the welfare, security and fundamental political values of Norwegian society,” said Minister of Foreign Affairs Espen Barth Eide. 
- FN har vært og er avgjørende for å fremme det norske samfunns velferd, sikkerhet og grunnleggende politiske verdier, sier utenriksminister Espen Barth Eide.
The Government presented a new white paper on Norway and the UN today. 
Regjeringen har i dag lagt fram en ny melding til Stortinget om Norge og FN.
“Norway has a fundamental interest in promoting a global order, in which right prevails over might. 
- Norge har en fundamental interesse av en verden der rett går foran makt.
The white paper also states that Norway’s UN policy has been successful. 
Meldingen slår også fast at norsk FN-politikk har vært vellykket.
According to the white paper, the role of the UN is being challenged today, both as a result of increased competition in the international arena and because major new powers are seeking an international system that better reflects today’s reality. 
Ifølge meldingen er FNs rolle i dag er utfordret, både av økt konkurranse og av nye stormakter som ønsker et internasjonalt system som bedre gjenspeiler dagens realiteter.
The Government will therefore work to ensure that the UN is reformed in such a way that it is perceived as more representative and effective. 
Regjeringen vil derfor arbeide for at FN blir reformert slik at den oppfattes mer representativ og mer effektiv.
Our aim is for the UN to function even more effectively. 
Vi vil at FN skal fungere enda bedre.
The white paper sets out seven criteria for evaluating UN organisations. 
Meldingen har syv kriterier for vurdering av FN-organisasjonene.
The organisations that perform best will receive more funding, while those that have not achieved the necessary results will receive less,” said Mr Holmås. 
De beste vil få mer penger, de som oppnår for lite vil få mindre, sier Holmås.

FNs sikkerhetsråd vedtok sent torsdag kveld en omfattende resolusjon (UNSCR 1973) som blant annet tillater FNs medlemsland - og relevante organisasjoner - å treffe ”alle nødvendige tiltak” for å beskytte sivile i Libya.

Norway will now, together with our allies, consider whether, and if so how, NATO could help to implement the UN resolution. 
Norge vil nå sammen med våre allierte vurdere om og hvordan Nato eventuelt skal bidra til å følge opp FNs vedtak.
Future military action must be seen in conjunction with a number of other measures, such as economic sanctions, political measures, full isolation of the regime, investigation by the International Criminal Court and humanitarian assistance. 
En kommende militær aksjon må sees i nær sammenheng med en rekke andre tiltak, som økonomiske sanksjoner, politiske tiltak, full isolasjon av regimet, etterforskning fra Den internasjonale straffedomstolen (ICC), humanitær innsats.
