Foreign Minister comments on UN report on torture 
Utenriksministeren om FN-rapport om bruk av tortur
“The report gives cause for great concern. 
- Rapporten er svært bekymringsfull.
Efforts to advance human rights are undermined if the advocates of these rights also violate them,” Mr Støre said. 
Innsatsen for menneskerettighetene svekkes hvis pådrivere for disse rettighetene samtidig bryter dem, sier utenriksministeren.
“The prohibition of torture is absolute and may not be contravened under any circumstances. 
- Forbudet mot tortur er absolutt og kan ikke fravikes under noen omstendighet.
According to Special Rapporteur Manfred Nowak, there are widespread and routine violations of the prohibition of torture all over the world. 
Spesialrapportør Manfred Nowak mener at det skjer jevnlige og rutinemessig brudd på torturforbudet verden over.
He identifies impunity as one of the root causes of this trend.

This is cause for serious concern. 
Dette er alvorlig.
