In Norway’s statement to the @iCJ we argued that Israel has a legal obligation to facilitate humanitarian aid and relief to Palestinians. The humanitarian blockade is morally reprehensible and deeply illegal and must be lifted immediately. Full statement: regjeringen.no/en/aktuelt/sta…

Just arrived in Israel and my first stop is Hostages Square to honor all those killed and captured by Hamas during its brutal terrorist attack on Oct 7. Norway continues to call for the immediate and unconditional release of all remaining hostages.

Norway will always support a UN Secretary General determined to defend the Charter and the principles therein, irrespective of who violates it. No country should declare the SG persona non grata for carrying out his mandate.

Norway stands firmly behind UNSG @antonioguterres in his defense of the UNCharter and efforts to maintain peace&security. I strongly oppose attempts by Israel to undermine the UNSG and the UN. The crises we face, incl. in Middle East, call for a strong UN, with our full backing.

Norway will recognize Palestine as a state. We are doing this to give momentum to those who - amidst war, death and destruction - still believe in an independent Palestinian state established alongside Israel - the only way to resolving this conflict.

There was broad participation in yesterday’s presidential election in #Venezuela. Full transparency is crucial for the credibility and legitimacy of the elections. We encourage the publication and independent verification of the electoral results at every level.

Appalled by reports of another massacre of civilians in Gaza. Norway condemns attacks on civilians in the strongest terms. We call for the release of all remaining hostages - now. We call for a ceasefire - now. The suffering must end.

Norway will continue to stand for international law’s cardinal rule that no state can attack another state’s territorial integrity. We will continue to support Ukraine against Russian aggression as long as it takes.

Nothing about Ukraine, without Ukraine. An important meeting in Munich today between two friends and partners 🇺🇦🇳🇴 Norway stands with Ukraine — in arms, in aid and in solidarity. Norway’s support to Ukraine’s fight for freedom is unwavering.

Excited to see my piece out in @LJIL_Leiden, exploring the inability of states to adopt new global treaties to address new challenges & why the law of the sea has kept evolving despite this trend. It also gives lessons for how to revive global lawmaking. cup.org/2Xsews1

Excellent conversation with Syria’s FM @Asaad_Shaibani in Brussels. Discussed the considerable challenges, but also opportunities ahead. Norway is committed to supporting the Syrian people as it moves towards a future based on inclusion and prosperity.
