This means that African and Asian countries are in the majority, and when these have taken coordinated action, the Council has sometimes been an arena for questioning principles that are a key element of our own value base and that of other liberal states founded on the rule of law. 
Det vil si at blant annet afrikanske og asiatiske land til sammen er i flertall, og når disse har koordinert seg har rådet tidvis framstått som en arena for omkamp om prinsipper som står sentralt i vårt eget og andre liberale rettsstaters verdigrunnlag.
On the contrary, we will use openness and cross-cutting alliances to build bridges and ensure broad support for universal principles. 
Vi skal - gjennom åpenhet og tverrgående allianser - bygge broer og sikre bredoppslutning om universelle prinsipper.
We will play a leading role in the Council in efforts to promote the rights of women, children and minorities, and to fight discrimination in all forms. 
I rådet skal vi gå foran i arbeidet for kvinner, barn og minoriteters rettigheter og arbeid mot diskriminering generelt.
It is significant that one of the Council’s former strongest critics – the US – has decided to reengage in this work, and was elected as a member at the same time as us. 
Det er også talende at en av de tidligere sterkeste kritikerne av Menneskerettighetsrådet, USA, har valgt å reengasjere seg og ble valgt inn som medlem samtidig med oss.
We have also been asked to lead the difficult negotiations on resolutions on human rights defenders and internally displaced people. 
Det er også et tegn på tillit at vi er bedt om å lede forhandlingene om vanskelige resolusjonene om menneskerettighetsforkjempere og internt fordrevne.
It is important to point out that the Human Rights Council has improved. 
Det er også viktig å understreke at Menneskerettighetsrådet har blitt bedre.
The Universal Periodic Review mechanism, which was originally proposed by countries in the South, has so far been a success. 
Rådets nye mekanisme Universal Periodic Review (universell periodisk gjennomgang) har så langt har vært en suksess.
Norway is currently completing a thorough report on Norway’s work in the human rights field, which will be thoroughly examined in Geneva in December. 
Norge ferdigstiller i disse dager vår rapport som skal gjennomgås i Genève i desember.
Peacekeeping efforts 
FNs fredsbevarende arbeid
The Government has given priority to increasing Norway’s civilian and military participation in UN-led efforts, in line with its policy platform. 
Regjeringen har prioritert økt norsk sivil og militær deltakelse i FN-ledet innsats, i tråd med Soria Moria-erklæringen, særlig gjennom deltakelsen med det norske feltsykehuset i Tsjad.
The provision of a field hospital in Chad is particularly important, and has been greatly appreciated by the UN. 
Dette er høyt verdsatt fra FNs side.
The US is now prepared to become involved in this area, which will be very important for the latest major initiative on reform of the UN’s peace operations. 
Det faktum at USA nå er beredt til å engasjere seg på dette området vil være av stor betydning for å sikre konkrete resultater av det siste store initiativet til reform av FNs fredsoperasjoner.
Norway will take active part in this process, with a basis in the Government’s project on integrated and multidimensional peace operations. 
Norge vil bidra aktivt til denne prosessen, slik vi gjorde det med regjeringens prosjekt om integrerte og flerdimensjonale fredsoperasjoner.
Many of the recommendations from this project will provide valuable input to the reform process. 
Mange av anbefalingene derfra vil være viktige innspill til reformprosessen.
The establishment of a peacekeeping operation and the presence of troops on the ground are not in themselves enough to win peace. 
Men, en fredsbevarende operasjon og styrker på bakken er ikke i seg selv nok til å vinne freden.
The UN cannot expect to succeed alone in peacebuilding efforts. 
FN kan ikke lykkes alene med fredsbygging.
A coordinated and integrated approach is needed, and so is better funding. 
Koordinert og helhetlig innsats må til, og bedre finansiering.
The UN, bilateral donors and the World Bank must work together to ensure clear evidence of peace dividends. 
FN, bilaterale givere og Verdensbanken må samarbeide for at synlige bevis på¨at fred ”lønner seg” blir virkelighet.
At the same time, however, there are many tasks that can only be taken on by the UN. 
Samtidig: Mye av det FN gjør kan bare FN gjøre.
Who other than the UN could have helped Afghanistan to hold elections with some credibility, even though this has proved to be limited. 
Hvem andre enn FN er det som kunne hjulpet med å arrangere et valg i Afghanistan med tilsvarende (om enn skjøre) legitimitet?
No one. 
Ingen.
It is too soon to evaluate the Afghan elections, but one thing is indisputable: the elections in Afghanistan are a good example of how the UN works effectively in the field, helping to foster political stability in a fragmented country with weak institutions and deep-seated cultural differences. 
Det er for tidlig å evaluere de afghanske valgene, men ett forhold tør være uomstridt: Valgene i Afghanistan er et godt eksempel på et FN som nettopp virker effektivt i felt og som bidrar til politisk stabilitet i et land preget av skjøre institusjoner, kulturelle motsetninger og betydelig fragmentering.
This is why Norway has provided significant funding for the UN’s presence in Afghanistan. 
Derfor har Norge bidratt med betydelig finansiell støtte til FNs tilstedeværelse i Afghanistan.
The processes that culminated in the Mine Ban Convention and the Convention on Cluster Munitions illustrate that it may sometimes be better to work outside the UN to ensure rapid progress and achieve agreement among as many countries as possible. 
Arbeidet med minekonvensjonen og klasevåpenkonvensjonen var eksempler på at enkelte ganger er det mer vellykket å gå utenom FN for å få fortgang i prosesser og skape enighet blant flest mulig.
Nevertheless, the UN was a key partner in this work. 
Men FN var en sentral samarbeidspartner.
The UN – with UNDP out in the field – provided valuable assistance vis-à-vis national authorities, practical support and legitimacy. 
FN – med UNDP ute i felten – bisto oss overfor nasjonale myndigheter, med praktisk tilrettelegging og med legitimitet.
In connection with our continued humanitarian disarmament efforts, we have now taken an initiative to put armed violence on the agenda, which covers small arms, explosives, mines, cluster munitions and other conventional weapons. 
Som en videreføring av vår innsats innen humanitær nedrustning tar vi nå et initiativ om ”væpnet vold” agendaen (samlebegrep for bruk av håndvåpen, eksplosiver, miner, klaseammunisjon og andre konvensjonelle våpen).
According to UNDP, more than two million people are killed or maimed as a result of armed violence every year. 
I følge UNDP dør eller lemlestes mer enn to millioner mennesker hvert år på grunn av væpnet vold.
Small arms are often referred to as Africa’s weapons of mass destruction. 
Håndvåpen kalles ofte Afrikas masseødeleggelsesvåpen.
We are discussing how we can move this agenda forward in cooperation with the UN and UNDP. 
Vi diskuterer nå hvordan vi skal ta denne saken videre i samarbeid med FN ved UNDP.
It is in the humanitarian field that the UN is most active – as advocate, provider of aid and coordinator. 
På det humanitære området: her er FN mest operativ - som talsmann, nødhjelpsaktør og koordinator.
This is due to targeted long-term efforts to strengthen the UN’s performance and increase its resources. 
Dette takket være målrettet innsats over lengre tid for å styrke FNs innsats og ressurser.
The Central Emergency Revolving Fund (CERF) ensures that funding is available when a crisis occurs, and that crises that are not the focus of media attention can also be addressed. 
Nødhjelpsfondet (Central Emergency Revolving Fund – CERF) sikrer at midler er raskt tilgjengelig når krisen oppstår og at også de krisene som kameraene ikke dekker blir håndtert.
Norway is one of the largest contributors to the CERF. 
Norge er en av de største bidragsyterne til CERF.
However, there is room for improvement. 
Samtidig er det rom for forbedring.
Humanitarian efforts need to be better adapted to climate change, and focus more on disaster risk reduction and preparedness, and gender equality must be taken more seriously. 
FNs humanitære arbeid må bli bedre på klimatilpasning, forebygging og beredskap, og likestilling må tas på alvor.
Norway is an important partner for the UN’s humanitarian organisations, not only in terms of funding, and we will continue to make a constructive contribution in line with the Government’s recent white paper on humanitarian policy. 
Norge er en viktig samarbeidspartner for FNs humanitære organisasjoner, også utover det finansielle, og vi vil fortsette å bidra konstruktivt i tråd med Stortingsmelding 40 om norsk humanitær politikk.
Environment and climate change 
Miljø og klima
In a few months the world’s attention will be turned to the UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen. 
Om noen måneder vil verdens øyne være rettet mot FN-møtet i København.
The people attending the summit are expected to make important progress in safeguarding the world’s common future. 
Det forventes at de som møtes der vil ta viktige steg for å sikre verdens felles framtid.
Everyone must do their part, and the UN has an important role to play, both as a global arena and as an actor in its own right. 
Her må alle bidra og FN har en viktig rolle igjen både som global møteplass og som aktør i egen rett:
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is playing an important part as secretariat for the negotiations, and the UN as such and the Secretary-General have a particular responsibility for ensuring that the voices of poor countries are heard. 
FN og klimapanelet har en viktig rolle som sekretariat for forhandlingene, men også FN og generalsekretæren har også et spesielt ansvar for å sikre at fattige lands stemmer blir hørt.
Ban Ki-moon played this role at the Bali summit, and he has called a meeting for world leaders on 22 September for discussions on climate change on an unprecedented scale. 
Denne rollen spilte Ban Ki-moon under møtet på Bali og den 22. september samler han verdens ledere for å diskutere klimasaken i et omfang vi ikke tidligere har sett.
The UN is also assisting poor countries to prepare for Copenhagen. 
FN bistår også fattige land i egne forberedelser til København.
Copenhagen is not the end of the line. 
København er ikke endepunktet.
We will work together with others to put forward proposals for how we can integrate and strengthen climate change and environment efforts and make them more effective, for example by establishing enforcement mechanisms. 
Vi skal jobbe sammen med andre for å komme med forslag til hvordan man kan samle og styrke arbeidet med miljø og klima og gjøre det mer slagkraftig, bla. i form av håndhevelsesmekanismer.
We will contribute constructively both in the negotiations and through our cooperation with various UN organisations. 
Vi vil bidra konstruktivt i forhandlingene og gjennom vårt samarbeid med de ulike FN-organisasjonene.
We are already supporting the United Nations Collaborative Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries (UN-REDD), under which FAO, UNEP, UNDP and the World Bank are working together to protect rain forests in priority areas. 
Vi gjør allerede vårt for å samle FNs innsats gjennom skogsatsningsprosjektet ”UN-REDD” der FAO, UNEP og UNDP og Verdensbanken samarbeider om å bevare regnskogen i prioriterte områder.
Summary: 
Oppsummering
Norway can achieve a great deal through the UN, and will continue to strengthen the organisation. 
Norge kan oppnå mye gjennom FN og vil fortsette å bidra til å styrke organisasjonen.
We will not leave this arena, this rostrum, to the extremists. 
Vil ikke overlate arenaen og talerstolen til de som ikke vil FN vel.
We express criticism where we believe it is needed because we want the UN to function as well as possible. 
Vi er kritiske der vi mener det er nødvendig fordi vi vil ha et godt FN.
As I said at the beginning, the UN has never been more important than today. 
Som jeg sa innledningsvis: Aldri har FN vært viktigere.
A new climate of negotiation in the UN is now possible with the reengagement of the US. 
Nytt forhandlingsklima i FN mulig med USAs reengasjement.
We must seize this opportunity, not just to move forward processes in key areas such as climate change and disarmament, but also to secure agreement on the necessary reforms. 
Må benytte muligheten - ikke bare til å få fortgang i sentrale prosesser som klima og nedrustning - men sikre enighet om nødvendige reformer.
In order to develop the best possible world organisation. 
For et best mulig FN.
This is in our own best interests and in the best interests of all the united nations. 
Det er i vår og alle de forente nasjoners interesse.

New UN agency for women and gender equality 
Nytt FN-organ for kvinner og likestilling
“This is an important measure to secure the rights and empowerment of women,” said Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. 
– Dette er et viktig tiltak for å sikre kvinners deltakelse og rettigheter, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
“The world cannot afford to sideline half the population. 
- Verden har ikke råd til å sette halvparten av befolkningen til side.
For a long time Norway has been at the forefront of efforts to ensure the participation of women in all arenas. 
I lang tid har Norge vært pådriver for å få kvinner med på alle arenaer.
This decision is a concrete response to those efforts by the High-Level Panel co-chaired by Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, and shows that our voice is heard at the UN,” said Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. 
Dette vedtaket er en konkret oppfølging av Høynivåpanelet som statsminister Jens Stoltenberg ledet og viser at vår stemme blir hørt i FN, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
The new body will be an amalgamation of four existing units and will be headed by an under-secretary-general. 
Det nye organet opprettes ved å slå sammen fire eksisterende enheter, og arbeidet skal ledes av en vise-generalssekretær.
The aim is for the new body to be up and running as early as next spring.
