  • United Nations Secretary-General Appoints Gunilla Carlsson As
    United Nations Secretary-General appoints Gunilla Carlsson as Executive Director, a.i., of UNAIDS GENEVA, 13 May 2019—UNAIDS warmly welcomes the appointment by the United Nations Secretary-General of Gunilla Carlsson as Executive Director, a.i., of UNAIDS. Ms Carlsson joined UNAIDS in February 2018 as the Deputy Executive Director for Management and Governance and Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations. Ms Carlsson provides strategic direction to management functions and is leading UNAIDS’ work in promoting effective governance of the Joint Programme and ensuring that UNAIDS continues to serve as a pathfinder for United Nations reform. “It is a great honour for me to serve UNAIDS as acting Executive Director at such a pivotal time for the Joint Programme, the United Nations and global health. The AIDS response cannot afford to be at a standstill,” said Ms Carlsson. “Human rights, gender equality and diversity must be at the centre of all we do. I look forward to continuing to work hand in hand with communities, staff and partners around the globe to achieve the 2020 targets and ultimately end AIDS.” Prior to joining UNAIDS, Ms Carlsson served as an elected member of the Swedish Parliament and as the Minister for International Development Cooperation. She also served as an elected member of the European Parliament. Ms Carlsson was the Chair of the Swedish-initiated Commission on Climate Change and Development. She was appointed by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to a high-level panel for global sustainability ahead of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development and served on the United Nations High-Level Panel on the Post-2015 Development Agenda.

  • Fredrik Reinfeldt
    2014 Press release 03 June 2014 Prime Minister's Office REMINDER: German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte to Harpsund On Monday and Tuesday 9-10 June, Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt will host a high-level meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte at Harpsund. The European Union needs to improve job creation and growth now that the EU is gradually recovering from the economic crisis. At the same time, the EU is facing institutional changes with a new European Parliament and a new European Commission taking office in the autumn. Sweden, Germany, the UK and the Netherlands are all reform and growth-oriented countries. As far as Sweden is concerned, it will be important to emphasise structural reforms to boost EU competitiveness, strengthen the Single Market, increase trade relations and promote free movement. These issues will be at the centre of the discussions at Harpsund. Germany, the UK and the Netherlands, like Sweden, are on the World Economic Forum's list of the world's ten most competitive countries. It is natural, therefore, for these countries to come together to compare experiences and discuss EU reform. Programme points: Monday 9 June 18.30 Chancellor Merkel, PM Cameron and PM Rutte arrive at Harpsund; outdoor photo opportunity/door step. Tuesday 10 June 10.30 Joint concluding press conference. Possible further photo opportunities will be announced later. Accreditation is required through the MFA International Press Centre. Applications close on 4 June at 18.00.

  • Gunilla Carlsson, Minister for International Development Cooperation Speech by Gunilla Carlsson at UN High-Level Meeting Check Against Delivery
    2010 Speech 21 September 2010 Gunilla Carlsson, Minister for International Development Cooperation Speech by Gunilla Carlsson at UN high-level meeting Check against delivery Mr President, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, Related Press Release: Gunilla (Sweden aligns itself fully with the statement delivered by the European Union) Carlsson to New York for The Millennium Development Goals represent a common agenda to enhance and coordinate our efforts for UN high-level meeting poverty eradication and sustainable global development. The MDGs are about improving the lives of the world's poorest people; everyone's right to take an active part in shaping their own future and that of their families, communities and countries. They are about enabling people to move out of poverty and into lives of freedom and opportunities. Governments that pursue democratic development hand-in-hand with human rights stand a better chance of achieving the MDGs. The overall trend is positive. Infant and child mortality have dropped and more girls attend school. Evidence shows that the MDGs can be met if there is sufficient political will. However, despite progress we still face challenges. Millions of people suffer from hunger and lack access to safe drinking water. Climate change affects our living conditions. The poorest suffer the most. Africa is particularly hard-hit. Mr President, Sweden is deeply concerned that some MDGs are lagging behind. This is especially true of MDG5 on maternal health. It is unacceptable that hundreds of thousands of women die every year from complications related to pregnancy and childbirth. The causes of maternal mortality are well known and, in most cases, preventable.

  • Big Brother Sweden: Critics Force Snoop Law Postponement
    Big Brother Sweden: Critics force snoop law postponement By Global Research Region: Europe Global Research, June 18, 2008 Theme: Police State & Civil Rights thelocal.se 18 June 2008 Swedish lawmakers have agreed to postpone plans for the passing into law of a controversial surveillance bill following an emotional debate in the Riksdag on Tuesday evening. A last gasp appeal from the Centre Party was accepted by the government, which promised to strengthen the law with regard to civil liberties. Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt said his Moderate Party would back the amendments proposed by dissenting members of parliament in the governing coalition. Rather than facing a straight ‘yes’ or ‘no’ vote on Wednesday morning, the government’s proposal is expected to be referred back to the parliament’s defence committee for further consultation. Centre Party MP Fredrick Federley made an emotional plea to his coalition partners on Tuesday evening to rethink the proposed legislation. “The pros and cons need to be weighed up very carefully before reaching what is a very, very difficult decision. Certain issues are of so much greater importance than others that we must give them whatever time it takes,” he said. Federley added that signal surveillance could sometimes be necessitated, but not in the form set out in the current proposal. He then asked Defence Minister Sten Tolgfors whether the government intended taking further steps to guarantee the protection of civil liberties. Such a move would be decisive if he were to vote in favour of the law, said Federley. A year after the bill was first put on ice following pressure from the opposition, the government eventually agreed to take another look at the proposed legislation.

  • Migration Between Politics, Journalism and PR New Conditions for Power, Citizenship and Democracy?
    10.2478/nor-2014-0109 Nordicom Review 35 (2014) Special Issue, pp. 141-153 Migration between Politics, Journalism and PR New Conditions for Power, Citizenship and Democracy? Göran Palm & Håkan Sandström Abstract In this article we present a preliminary theoretical background and some empirical findings concerning a migrating trend between the fields of politics, PR and journalism: one day a political reporter, the next a communication officer; one day a PR consultant, the next a state secretary. To understand contemporary politics one must, we argue, comprehend the convergence between three fields of power holders that together form the realm of politics and communication: elite politicians, elite political reporters and elite communication/PR officers. Together, they form a communication elite that sets the parameters for the public discourse on politics. When politics is produced and constructed in, and through, social networks formed by elite agents from politics, journalism and PR, what does this mean for how democracy is worked out and what does it mean for citizenship in general? Keywords: communication elites, convergence, politics, public relations, journalism, de- mocracy Introduction This text can be seen as a starting point for a research project – Post-politics in Medi- aocracy: the structural transformation of political communication – dealing with the fundamentals of contemporary Swedish politics and democracy. The basic outline of the project concerns social power, power agents and the production and construction of ‘the political’. In focus are the agents that form the realm of politics and political communication, that is, those agents that possess the resources to produce a dominant discourse – a basic knowledge structure – of politics and democracy, but also how this agency is socially and culturally contextualized.

  • General Elections in Sweden from Corinne Deloy Th Translated by Helen Levy 19 September 2010
    SWEDEN European Elections monitor General Elections in Sweden from Corinne Deloy th Translated by Helen Levy 19 September 2010 On 19th September next 7 million Swedes are being called to renew all of their MPs: both national ANALYSIS (members of the Riksdag, the only Chamber of Parliament) and local (town councils and county councils). Norwegians and Icelanders who live in the kingdom, those with a nationality of another State but registered as resident in Sweden for the last three consecutive years and citizens of the 26 other EU Member States will be entitled to vote in the local elections. With regard to the general election voters can vote by post in advance in all of the country’s post offices during the 18 days preceding the election i.e. as from 1st September. If they so wish they can cancel their postal vote by returning to the ballot box on Election Day. 497,000 Swedes will be voting for the first time on 19th September next i.e. +15% in comparison with the last general elections on 17th September 2006, representing 9% of all voters. Finally 132,780 Swedes living abroad will be taking part in the election. Just one month from the election the result is still uncertain. Many political analysts believe that the election will be fought out in the centre. In a SIFO poll in July 36% of Swedes said they tended to the right, 24% to the left and 33% to the centre. Another poll in July showed that 46% of voters thought that the Alliance forces, in office at present, were going to win on 19th September whilst 40% were forecasting a change in government and therefore a victory for the left.

  • Ms Gunilla Carlsson Minister for International Development Cooperation Ministry for Foreign Affairs Government Offices of Sweden SE-103 39 Stockholm Sweden
    Ms Gunilla Carlsson Minister for International Development Cooperation Ministry for Foreign Affairs Government Offices of Sweden SE-103 39 Stockholm Sweden 15/03/2012 Dear Minister Carlsson Including progress on aid transparency within Sweden’s Open Government Partnership Action Plan As Sweden prepares to submit its Open Government Partnership (OGP) Action Plan for April 2012 we the undersigned civil society organisations are writing to encourage you to take this opportunity to build on both the aid transparency commitmentsi made at the Fourth High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness (HLF-4) in December 2011 and your progress within the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) process. As you know, the main challenge Sweden aims to address through its OGP Action Plan - to more effectively manage public resourcesii – can be appropriately applied to aid transparency. We therefore anticipate seeing more specific action points relating to aid transparency included within Sweden’s OGP Action Plan. Through the commitments already delivered by OGP founding members, including the U.K and U.S., the links between the OGP and IATI agenda’s have been made explicitiii, as has the potential for OGP participation to complement the IATI process and vice versa. Thus it might be appropriate to include the following intentions within Sweden’s OGP Action Plan: • Continuing to improve Sweden’s IATI data – particularly by publishing 2011 data; Setting a timetable for publication of development-related flows, including climate finance; • Implementing IATI fully by December 2015. We look forward to working with you and your officials in the future as Sweden continues to make progress in this important area.
