Norway strengthens efforts to prevent torture 
Norge styrker det forebyggende arbeidet mot tortur
Norway has ratified the Optional Protocol to the UN Convention against Torture. 
Norge ratifiserte 27. juni den valgfrie protokollen til FNs torturkonvensjon.
It is therefore vital that we support efforts to strengthen international rules relating to the prevention of torture,” said Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide. 
Det er derfor viktig at vi bidrar til å styrke de internasjonale reglene for å forebygge tortur, sier utenriksminister Espen Barth Eide.
Norway has on 27 June ratified the Optional Protocol to the UN Convention against Torture. 
Norge har 27. juni ratifisert den valgfrie protokollen til FNs torturkonvensjon.
Prisons and other places of detention may also be visited by the UN’s Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture. 
Fengsler og andre steder for frihetsberøvelse vil også kunne bli besøkt av FNs underkomité for forebygging av tortur.
Whereas 153 states are party to the Convention against Torture itself, only 68 are party to the Optional Protocol. 
Mens 153 stater er part i selve torturkonvensjonen, er kun 68 part i den valgfrie protokollen.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs takes a two-track approach in its work to prepare Norway to meet the challenges of the future. 
I det vitale arbeidet for å fremtidssikre Norge følger Utenriksdepartementet to spor.
Both tracks involve promoting Norway’s interests and safeguarding the values we share with our allies and international partners, writes Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende. 
Begge handler om å fremme norske interesser og de verdiene vi deler med allierte land og samarbeidspartnere globalt, skriver utenriksminister Børge Brende.
The year 2014 was a year of crises, and it has left a deep impression. 
Kriseåret 2014 har gjort dypt inntrykk.
So far, 2015 looks set to continue in the same vein. 
2015 peker i samme retning.
Russia’s violations of international law and destabilisation of Ukraine are spreading uncertainty throughout Europe. 
Russlands brudd på folkeretten og destabilisering av Ukraina sprer usikkerhet i hele Europa.
The terror attacks in Paris show that Europe is being directly affected by the global conflict landscape. 
Terroren i Paris viser at Europa rammes direkte av det globale konfliktbildet.
Not since the Second World War have so many people had to flee their homes. 
Ikke siden andre verdenskrig har så mange mennesker vært på flukt.
Half of the population of Syria has been internally displaced. 
Halve Syrias befolkning er på flukt i eget land.
The very integrity of the nation state is being challenged, from Nigeria in the west to Iraq and Afghanistan in the east. 
Selve nasjonalstatens integritet utfordres fra Nigeria i vest til Irak og Afghanistan i øst.
From Norway’s perspective, this is cause for grave concern. 
Dette er svært alvorlig sett fra et norsk ståsted.
Both tracks involve promoting Norway’s interests and safeguarding the values we share with our allies and international partners: 
Begge handler om å fremme norske interesser og de verdiene vi deler med allierte land og samarbeidspartnere globalt:
The second track is making Norway more robust. 
Å fremtidssikre Norge.
The first of these concerns our fundamental values. 
Den første hovedlinjen handler om verdier.
Over the last year, we have learnt that we cannot take universal values for granted. 
Det siste året har lært oss at vi ikke kan ta universelle verdier for gitt.
The second main strand concerns security. 
Den andre hovedlinjen er sikkerhet.
We must safeguard Norway’s future. 
Vi skal trygge Norges fremtid.
Norway must continue to be a safe country to live in. 
Norge skal fortsatt være et trygt land å leve i.
Our security policy must be adapted to new and existing threats. 
Vi må ha en sikkerhetspolitikk tilpasset etablerte og nye trusler.
We need to be able to deal with ever more complex threat scenarios, as well as multiple threats. 
Vi må kunne håndtere parallelle og stadig mer komplekse trusselscenarier.
We will invest heavily in NATO and our own armed forces, and we will also support other relevant actors, both at the bilateral and multilateral level. 
Vi vil investere tungt i Nato og vårt eget forsvar samt andre relevante aktører, bilateralt og multilateralt.
We need to be better equipped to deal with unforeseen events. 
Vi må ruste oss bedre for uventede hendelser.
Our development policy and our efforts to promote peace and reconciliation must also help to secure a safer future for Norway. 
Vår utviklingspolitikk og vårt arbeid for fred og forsoning skal bidra til å skape en tryggere fremtid også for Norge.
The third strand relates to Norway’s economic interests. 
Den tredje hovedlinjen er å fremme norske økonomiske interesser.
Few things are more important for the Norwegian economy than ensuring stable and predictable conditions for Norwegian companies. 
Knapt noe er så viktig for norsk økonomi som solide og forutsigbare rammevilkår for norske bedrifter.
We must enhance our understanding of global economic development, promote global free trade and global frameworks for trade and investment, and we must promote Norway’s interests in our dealings with the WTO and the EU. 
Vi må styrke vår forståelse av global økonomisk utvikling, fremme global frihandel og globale rammeverk for handel og investeringer, arbeide for norske interesser inn mot WTO og EU.
We will present a white paper on this topic, which will set out the framework for our work, and we will intensify our efforts to support Norwegian companies that have operations abroad and to promote Norway as a destination for investment. 
Vi vil fremme en egen stortingsmelding som rammeverk for dette arbeidet, og styrker innsatsen for å støtte norsk næringsliv globalt og fremme av Norge som destinasjon for investeringer.
The fourth strand of foreign policy focuses on Norway’s efforts to promote peace and development and provide humanitarian relief. 
Den fjerde hovedlinjen er norske bidrag til fred, utvikling og å avhjelpe humanitær nød.
Our extensive engagement in these areas enjoys broad support among the Norwegian population and is based primarily on the needs of people in the affected areas. 
Vår omfattende innsats på disse områdene har stor støtte i befolkningen og er først og fremst basert på menneskers behov.
However, this does not mean that we are placing less emphasis on results and performance. 
Det betyr ikke mindre vekt på effektivitet og resultater, snarere tvert imot.
Pursuing an effective policy in these areas also directly promotes Norway’s interests. 
Samtidig ser vi at en effektiv politikk på disse områdene også styrker norske interesser mer direkte.
For example, we are witnessing how wars and conflicts in other regions are spreading to Europe, Norway included, and we are seeing new migration flows and increased terrorism. 
Vi ser hvordan konflikt og krig i andre regioner sprer seg til Europa og Norge gjennom nye migrasjonsstrømmer og økt terrorfare.
Moreover, a successful development policy can lead to a rapidly growing and increasingly globalised middle class, which in turn results in greater demand for Norwegian goods and services. 
Og hvordan en vellykket utviklingspolitikk kan bidra til en raskt voksende globalisert middelklasse som etterspør norske varer og tjenester.
Climate change is threatening the very foundation for global development. 
Klimaendringene truer selve fundamentet for global utvikling.
That is why the fight against climate change is a key foreign policy priority, and it is why we must succeed in reaching a new climate change agreement in Paris in December 2015. 
Derfor er klima en hovedlinje i utenrikspolitikken, og derfor må vi lykkes i Paris i desember 2015.

Important vessels for Norway HNoMS Storm is the first of a total of six Skjold Class missile-armed, stealthy fast patrol boats (FPB). 
Viktige fartøyer for Norge KNM ”Storm” er først ut av til sammen seks fartøyer i Skjold-klassen.
The vessels are powerfully armed, have long endurance and are highly capable of dealing with challenging conditions at sea. 
Båtene har stor kampkraft, lang utholdenhet og stor evne til å takle krevende forhold på sjøen.
The main armament of the Skjold Class will consist of the Norwegian-produced Naval Strike Missile. 
Hovedvåpenet til Skjold-klassen vil være det norskproduserte Naval Strike Missile (NSM).
The vessels have attracted considerable interest world-wide. 
Fartøyene har vakt betydelig oppsikt i verden for øvrig.
“Norway’s territorial waters cover a very large area and we need naval vessels to uphold our rights and fulfil our obligations at sea. 
– Norsk sjøområde er veldig stort, og vi trenger militære fartøyer for å sikre våre rettigheter og forpliktelser på havet.
The Skjold Class embodies the very latest technology and has a natural place on Norway’s defence forces. 
Skjold-klassen er høyteknologisk og har en naturlig plass i det norske forsvaret.
These FPBs are, we believe, the world’s fastest naval vessels. 
MTB-ene er, så langt vi vet, verdens raskeste marinefartøy.
They will make a significant contribution in relation to maintaining a naval presence in the High North,” a highly satisfied State Secretary points out. 
De vil gi et betydelig bidrag i forhold til sjømilitær tilstedeværelse i nordområdene, presiserer en fornøyd statssekretær.
The FPBs are also capable of undertaking search and rescue missions and the protection of Norwegian assets on the continental shelf. 
MTB-ene vil også kunne brukes til søk- og redningsaksjoner og beskyttelse av installasjoner på norsk sokkel.
They are also equipped to enable them to take part in international operations. 
De er i tillegg utstyrt for å kunne delta i internasjonale operasjoner.
Delayed delivery Delivery of the vessels has been delayed, mainly due to engine problems. 
Forsinket levering Fartøyene har blitt forsinket, hovedsakelig grunnet motorproblemer.
“Naturally this is not ideal. 
– Det er selvsagt ikke optimalt.
I would, however, like to emphasise that we are satisfied that the technical problems have now been solved. 
Jeg vil likevel presisere at vi er fornøyd med at de tekniske problemene nå er løst.
The most important thing for us is that we can now bring these vessels into service,” says Roger Ingebrigtsen. 
Det viktigste for oss er at vi nå kan ta båtene i bruk, sier Ingebrigtsen.
“We are aware that the shipbuilders, Umoe Mandal, have reduced the scale of their activities now that these vessels will soon have been completed. 
– Vi er kjent med at Umoe Mandal har redusert virksomheten som følge av at MTB-ene snart er ferdige.
In connection with the Government’s package of support measures for the shipbuilding industry, a number of initiatives have been launched to support future working at Umoe Mandal. 
I forbindelse med regjeringens tiltakspakke for verftsindustrien ble det lansert flere tiltak for å støtte opp om videre drift ved Umoe Mandal.
