That we have a Faroese personal ID number does not affect our Danish citizenship. Question: | BLARK_translated | At vit hava føroyskt p-tal ávirkar ikki okkara danska ríkisborgararætt. Spurningur: |
Why do Faroese people use the term "altjóðarættur"? This is usually used in the Anglo-Saxon world. Germans and Scandinavians (also Icelanders — see “þjóðréttur”) have always used "fólkarættur", so why don’t we as well? | BLARK_translated | Hví brúka føroyngar heitið "altjóðarættur". Hetta verdur vanliga brúkt í angulsaksiska heiminum. Týskarar og skandinavar (eisini íslendingar sí " tjóðréttur") hava altíð brúkt "fólkarættur" so hví ikki eisini vit? |
But it is correct that these legal rules can also be called "international law". They can also be called "global law." | BLARK_translated | Men tað er rætt at hesar rættarreglur eisini kunnu nevnast "fólkarættur". Tær kunnu eisini nevnast "altjóða lóg". |
I think I've heard that Israeli citizens sometimes have citizenship in another country besides their own. | BLARK_translated | Haldi meg hava hoyrt, at ísraelskir borgarar stundum hava borgararætt í øðrum landi umframt sínum egna. |
Could it be possible for Faroese people to choose to hold both Faroese and Danish citizenship if the Faroe Islands become a sovereign state? | BLARK_translated | Kann hugsast, at føroyingar kunnu velja at hava bæði føroyskan og danskan ríkisborgararætt, um Føroyar gerast fullveldisríki? |
It is correct that some countries accept that people have citizenship in multiple countries. But this is not common around here. Question: | BLARK_translated | Tað er rætt at nøkur lond góðtaka, at fólk hava ríkisborgararætt í fleiri londum. Men hetta er ikki vanligt um okkara leiðir. Spurningur: |
In the discussion it is stated that for the Faroese nation to gain sovereignty, a so‑called "qualified majority" must vote for this in a referendum. Is this correct? | BLARK_translated | Í orðaskiftinum verður ført fram, at skal føroyska tjóðin fáa fullveldi, krevst, at ein sonevndur "kvalifiseraður meiriluti" atkvøður fyri hesum á fólkaatkvøðu. Er hetta rætt? |
No. The UN accepts a decision if it was made on a democratic basis. The UN does not impose requirements about referendums or how they should be organized. Question: | BLARK_translated | Nei. ST góðtekur eina avgerð, um hon er tikin á demokratiskum grundarlag. ST setur eingi krøv um at fólkaatkvøður ella hvussu tær skulu skipast. Spurningur: |
Who will have the right to vote in the referendum on the new agreement between the Faroe Islands and Denmark? | BLARK_translated | Hvørji fara at hava valrætt á fólkatkvøðuni um tann nýggja sáttmálan millum Føroyar og Danmark? |
In the political debate there has been significant talk about FAROESE HOME RULE. | BLARK_translated | Í politiska kjakinum hevur týðum verðið tosað um FØROYSKAN HEIMARÆTT. |
Citizenship is the same as national citizenship or nationality. Someone who has citizenship in a state has the right to live in the state, as well as the right to vote and to stand for election. Usually only people with citizenship can obtain the highest civil service positions in a country. | BLARK_translated | Heimarættur er tað sama sum ríkisborgararættur ella ríkisborgaraskapur. Tann, ið hevur heimarætt í einum ríki, hevur rætt at búgva í ríkinum, umframt valrætt og valbæri. Vanliga kunnu bert fólk við heimarætti fáa tey hægstu tænastumannastørvini í einum landi. |
According to the Home Rule Act a Faroese person is "a Danish citizen who is domiciled in the Faroe Islands." What will happen to Faroese people who live abroad if the Faroe Islands gain full sovereignty? | BLARK_translated | Sambært heimastýrislógini er ein føroyingur "en dansk statsborger, der er hjemmehørende på Færøerne". Hvussu verður við føroyingum sum búgva uttanlands, um Føroyar fáa fullveldi? |
If the Faroe Islands obtain full sovereignty, Faroese people who are residing in Denmark or other countries will be able to choose either to remain Danish or to apply for Faroese citizenship. | BLARK_translated | Fáa Føroyar fullveldi fara føroyingar, sum eru staddir í Danmark ella øðrum londum, at kunna velja millum antin at verða verandi danir, ella at søkja um at fáa føroyskan ríkisborgararætt. |
Are revenues from the oil industry included when it is assessed in the White Paper whether the Faroe Islands can manage on their own? | BLARK_translated | Eru inntøkur frá oljuvinnuni tiknar við, tá tað í Hvítubók verður mett um møguleikarnar fyri, at Føroyar kunnu klára seg sjálvar? |
But in addition there are amounts that are not found in public overviews, and various free rights that Faroese have as long as they are Danish citizens. Faroese would have to pay for several of these rights if the Faroe Islands became a sovereign state. Question: | BLARK_translated | Men harafturat eru upphæddir, sum ikki eru at finna í almennum yvirlitum, og ymisk ókeypis rættindi sum føroyingar hava, so leingi teir eru danskir ríkisborgarar. Føroyingar mugu rinda fyri fleiri av hesum rættindum, um Føroyar gerast fullveldisríki. Spurningur: |
According to the Home Rule Act, a Faroese person is a Dane who is “home-resident in the Faroe Islands.” Does that mean that Faroese people are a national minority in Denmark? | BLARK_translated | Sambært heimastýrislógini er ein føroyingur ein dani, sum er "hjemmehørende på Færøerne". Merkir tað, at føroyingar eru ein tjóðskaparligur minniluti í Danmark? |
For a people to be considered an independent nation within a state under international law, it is required that the nation join that state by a democratic decision. And the Faroese have never joined the Kingdom of Denmark in that way. That the Faroese Parliament (Løgting) has adopted and in practice accepted the home r... | BLARK_translated | Fyri at ein sjálvstøðug tjóð sambært altjóðarætti skal roknast sum ein minniluti í einum ríki, krevst, at tjóðin við fólkaræðisligari avgerð limar seg inn í hetta ríki. Og føroyingar hava ongantíð á tílíkan hátt limað seg inn í Danmarkar ríki. At Føroya Løgting hevur viðtikið og í verki góðtikið heimastýrisskipanina í ... |
Moreover, the Faroe Islands will have such a great need for cooperation with Denmark going forward that good and friendly relations between the countries are a prerequisite. | BLARK_translated | Harafturat fara Føroyar at hava so stóran tørv á samstarvi við Danmark frameftir, at góð og vinarlig viðurskifti millum londini eru ein fortreyt. |
Is there any sense in establishing a sovereign state that is so small it cannot manage the most basic functions a state normally has — for example monetary affairs and defense? | BLARK_translated | Er tað nøkur meining í at stovna eitt fullveldisríki sum er so lítið, at tað ikki megnar at standa fyri teimum mest grundleggjandi virkisøkjunum, sum eitt ríki vanliga hevur - eitt nú gjaldoyramálum og verjumálum? |
It is obvious that the smaller a country is, the more it has to cooperate with others, and the more it becomes dependent on others. But not all the countries of the world cooperate with others on many fundamental matters. Only a very few countries in the world have an independent defense system and an independent curre... | BLARK_translated | Eyðsæð er, at jú minni eitt ríki er, jú meira má tað samstarva við onnur, og jú meira verður tað heft at øðrum. Men at kalla øll heimsins lond samstarva við onnur um nógv grundleggjandi viðurskifti. Bert nøkur heilt fá lond í heiminum hava óhefta verjuskipan og óhefta gjaldoyraskipan. |
That a country has sovereignty means that it has the right to make all decisions about its own fate — including decisions about whom it should cooperate with. | BLARK_translated | At eitt land hevur fullveldi merkir, at tað hevur rætt at taka allar avgerðir um egna lagnu - harímillum avgerðir um, hvønn tað skal samstarva við. |
It is being said that the Faroese parliament should have full legislative power. Doesn't the Faroese parliament already have full legislative power in most areas? | BLARK_translated | Tosað verður um, at løgtingið skal hava fult lóggávuvald. Hevur løgtingið ikki fult lóggávuvald í flestu økjum sum er? |
Although only the Danish Parliament has ultimate legislative authority in the Danish realm, the Faroese Parliament (Føroya Løgting) makes the laws we operate under in the Faroe Islands in many areas. This applies to all the transferred spheres of responsibility. But when there is a conflict between a Løgting law and a ... | BLARK_translated | Hóast bert fólkatingið hevur endaligt lóggávuvald í tí danska ríkinum, ger Føroya Løgting á fleiri økjum tær lógir, sum vit virka eftir í Føroyum. Hetta er galdandi fyri øll tey yvirtiknu málsøkini. Men tá ið stríð er millum eina løgtingslóg og eina fólkatingslóg er kortini eingin ivi um, at fólkatingslógin vinnur. Har... |
How was the referendum on sovereignty in Iceland organized in 1918, and how many people voted for the treaty? | BLARK_translated | Hvussu var fólkaatkvøðan um fullveldi í 1918 í Íslandi skipað, og hvussu nógv fólk atkvøddu fyri sáttmálanum? |
The referendum was organized as a regular referendum, where 31,143 people had the right to vote. Of those, 12,411 voted in favor of the treaty, and 999 against. Those who voted in favor were 93% of those who voted, but only 39.9% of those who had the right to vote. | BLARK_translated | Fólkaatkvøðan var skipað sum ein vanlig fólkaatkvøða, har. 31.143 fólk høvdu valrætt. Av teimum atkvøddu 12.411 fyri sáttmálanum, og 999 ímóti. Tey, sum atkvøddu fyri, vóru 93% av teimum, ið vóru á vali, men bert 39,9% av teimum, ið høvdu valrætt. |
What is the difference when it is said that Iceland became a sovereign kingdom in 1918 and a republic in 1944? | BLARK_translated | Hvør er munurin tá ið sagt verður, at Ísland gjørdist fullveldisríki í 1918 og lýðveldi í 1944? |
When Iceland became a sovereign state in 1918, it meant that Icelanders gained the highest authority over and the ultimate responsibility for their country — i.e., sovereignty. But at that time the Danish king was also king of Iceland. | BLARK_translated | At Ísland gjørdist fullveldisríki í 1918 hevði við sær, at íslendingar fingu evsta valdið yvir og evstu ábyrgdina av sínum landi - t.e. fullveldi. Men tá var tann danski kongurin eisini kongur Íslands. |
That Iceland became a republic in 1944 meant that Iceland got its own head of state who was not a king, but an elected president. | BLARK_translated | At Ísland í 1944 gjørdist lýðveldi merkti, at Ísland fekk egnan ríkisovasta sum ikki var kongur, men ein valdur forseti. |
What is the fundamental difference between the Home Rule Act and a commonwealth treaty such as the Danish-Icelandic one that is planned? | BLARK_translated | Hvør er tann grundleggjandi munurin millum heimastýrislógina og ein samveldissáttmála sum tann danska-íslendska, sum ætlanin er at gera? |
A union treaty like the Danish–Icelandic one is an arrangement of an international-law nature which establishes that the Faroese nation has supreme authority over the Faroe Islands. Under such an arrangement the Faroe Islands and Denmark would be two independent and equal partners. | BLARK_translated | Ein samveldissáttmáli sum tann danski-íslendski er ein skipan av altjóðarættarligum slag, sum staðfestir, at føroyska tjóðin hevur evsta vald yvir Føroyum. Undir eini slíkari skipan verða Føroyar og Danmark tveir sjálvstøðugir og javnsettir partar. |
Is it not a contradiction to aim for the Faroese to gain full sovereignty over the Faroe Islands, while the plan is to make a Commonwealth-style treaty with Denmark for close and comprehensive cooperation? | BLARK_translated | Er tað ikki ein andsøgn at stíla móti at føroyingar skulu fáa fullveldi yvir Føroyum, samstundis sum ætlanin er at gera ein samveldissáttmála við Danmark um tætt og umfatandi samstarv? |
When Faroese authorities have control over certain affairs, does that mean that the Faroese have a part of the sovereignty over the Faroe Islands? | BLARK_translated | Tá føroyskir myndugleikar hava ræðið í sermálum, merkir tað so at føroyingar hava ein part av fullveldinum yvir Føroyum? |
No. Just as the authority of a person cannot be divided between two people, sovereignty over a territory and a people cannot be divided. It is only the Danish state that has sovereignty over the Faroe Islands. | BLARK_translated | Nei. Á sama hátt sum myndugleikin hjá einum persóni ikki kann býtast millum tveir persónar, kann fullveldi yvir einum øki og einum fólki ikki býtast sundur. Tað er bert danska ríkið, sum hevur fullveldi yvir Føroyum. |
Secession means that a constituent part leaves a state. The reason is usually that those who live in the constituent part want control over and responsibility for themselves. | BLARK_translated | Loysing merkir, at ein ríkislutur fer úr einum ríki. Orsøkin er vanliga at tey, sum búgva í ríkislutinum, vilja hava ræðið yvir og ábyrgd fyri sær sjálvum. |
Here is an opportunity to say your thoughts about the many questions the constitutional committee is working on. | BLARK_translated | Her er høvi at siga tína hugsan um teir mongu spurningar, grundlógarnevndin arbeiðir við |
What are the benefits for the Faroe Islands, and for those who live here, of the future Faroe Islands — where ultimate authority rests with the Faroese people — having a shared royal house with Denmark? | BLARK_translated | Hvat eru fyrimuninir hjá Føroyum, og teimum sum búleikast her, at framtíðar Føroyar, har evsta vald liggur hjá tí føroyska fólkinum, at hava felags kongahús við Danmark? |
The group 'Culture and Ideology' is assigned to address, among other things, this question. | BLARK_translated | Bólkurin 'Mentan og Ideologi' er settur at viðgera millum annað henda spurning. |
The challenge is to ensure that Faroese culture becomes part of the constitution — and that the constitution becomes part of Faroese culture. | BLARK_translated | Avbjóðingin er at tryggja, at føroysk mentan gerst partur av grundlógini - og at grundlógin gerst partur av føroyskari mentan. |
In the old Norse laws, a lot of alliteration, imagery and other devices were used to make the language relevant and understandable to ordinary people. | BLARK_translated | Í gomlum norrønum lógum var nýtt nógv stavrím, myndamál og annað at gera málið viðkomandi og skiljandi hjá vanligum fólki. |
Should the Faroese constitution be under the Danish one or be treated as equal? | BLARK_translated | Fer føroyska grundlógin at verða undir teirri donsku ella javnsett? |
In the negotiations with Denmark about sovereignty, a proposal has been made from the Faroe Islands that the Danish queen (king) should be the Faroese head of state. The other possibility is a president. In both cases the head of state can be expected to have very limited powers. | BLARK_translated | Í samráðingunum við Danmark um fullveldi hevur uppskot verið úr Føroyum, at danska drottningin (kongurin) skal vera føroyskur ríkisovasti. Annar møguleikin er ein forseti. í báðum førum má ríkisovastin ætlast at fáa sera avmarkað vald. |
Should the law not be changed if the work is not completed by June 1? | BLARK_translated | Skal lógin ikki broytast um arbeiðið ikki verður liðugt 1. juni? |
The Faroese Parliament may choose to approve that the deadline is exceeded. The Parliament may also choose to amend the law and thereby set the committee a new deadline. Question: | BLARK_translated | Løgtingið kann velja at góðtaka, at farið verður út um freistina. Tingið kann eisini velja at broyta lógina og harvið seta nevndini nýggja freist. Spurningur: |
Sign language is mentioned in the committee's sentence and will therefore most likely be included. Question: | BLARK_translated | Teknmál er nevnt í setninginum hjá nevndini og verður tí helst við. Spurningur: |
It is the secretary of the board who, in consultation with the chairman and the board members, answers the questions. Question: | BLARK_translated | Tað er skrivarin hjá nevndini sum í samráð við formannin og nevndarlimirnar svarar spurningunum. Spurningur: |
There is very little about social rights in the Danish constitution. In the Faroese one, it will likely be laid down more about the obligations of the state towards the disabled as well as others who have special needs. Question: | BLARK_translated | Í donsku grundlógini er sera lítið at finna um sosial rættindi. Í teirri føroysku verður væntandi staðfest meira um skyldurnar hjá landinum mótvegis brekaðum eins og øðrum, ið hava serligan tørv. Spurningur: |
Does the Constitution say anything about the Judiciary being able to invalidate laws that conflict with the Constitution? | BLARK_translated | Fer grundlógin at siga nakað um at Rættarskipanin skal vera aktiv og ógilda lógir sum eru í stríð við Grundlógina? |
The board has very thoroughly examined the question of an active legal system. | BLARK_translated | Nevndin hevur sera gjølla viðgjørt spurningin um eina aktiva rættarskipan. |
A lot has been made of the Tvind judgment. In that judgment the Danish Supreme Court decided that a law violated the separation of powers between the parliament and the judiciary — and therefore was invalid. | BLARK_translated | Nógv er gjørt burturúr Tvind-dóminum. Í tí dóminum avgjørdi danski hægstirættur, at ein lóg var brot á valdsbýtið millum tingið og dómsvaldið - og tessvegna ógildug. |
The plan is for a Faroese constitution to be ratified by a referendum. | BLARK_translated | Ætlanin er, at ein føroysk grundlóg skal staðfestast á fólkaatkvøðu. |
Constitutions are usually difficult to change, precisely because they secure the fundamental distribution of power and human rights. | BLARK_translated | Grundlógir eru vanliga torførar at broyta, júst tí tær tryggja grundleggjandi valdsbýtið og mannarættindini. |
The constitutional law must be approved by two parliaments if it is to be changed. | BLARK_translated | Stýrisskipanarlógin skal samtykkjast á tveimum løgtingum, um hon skal broytast. |
The Danish constitution requires both two things and a referendum, in which at least 40 percent of all voters must vote yes. | BLARK_translated | Danska grundlógin krevur bæði tvey ting og eina fólkaatkvøðu, har í minsta lagi 40 prosent av øllum veljarum skulu atkvøða ja. |
In the Norwegian constitution it says about amendments that "But such a change must never contradict the principles of this Constitution, but only concern modifications in individual provisions that do not alter the spirit of this Constitution." | BLARK_translated | Í norsku grundlógini stendur um broytingar, at "Dog maa saadan Forandring aldrig modsige denne Grundlovs Principer, men alene angaa Modifikationer i enkelte Bestemmelser, der ikke forandre denne Konstitutions Aand" |
The choice is between allowing changes that have democratic support, or protecting fundamental rights and constitutional order against arbitrary changes. | BLARK_translated | Valið stendur millum at loyva broytingum, ið hava demokratiska undirtøku, ella at tryggja grundleggjandi rættindi og stjórnarsið ímóti tilvildarligum broytingum. |
If there is no full sovereignty, should a Faroese constitution then be adopted, or would the Danish one still be in effect then? | BLARK_translated | Um einki fullveldi verður, skal so ein føroysk grundlóg samtykkjast, ella verður tann Danska enn galdandi tá? |
The rights of the accused in criminal cases, and thereby also the rights of those held in remand custody, have been addressed in the committee. These rights are described and protected in the constitution. Question: | BLARK_translated | Rættindini hjá skuldsettum í brotsmálum og harvið eisini rættindini hjá varðhaldsfongslaðum eru viðgjørd í nevndini. Hesi rættindi lýst og vard í grundlógini. Spurningur: |
If it is to be stated in the new Faroese constitution, where does the power originate from? | BLARK_translated | Fer at standa í nýggju føroysku grundlógini at standa, hvaðani maktin útgongur? |
In the Danish constitution it says: "We, Frederick the Ninth, by Our highest consent, confirm the Constitution of the Realm of Denmark." | BLARK_translated | Í donsku grundlógini stendur: "Vi Frederik den Niende ved Vort allerhøjeste samtykke stadfæster Danmarks Riges Grundlov " |
The Constitutional Committee is only working on writing a constitution in Faroese. | BLARK_translated | Grundlógarnevndin arbeiðir bert við at skriva eina grundlóg á føroyskum. |
However, the Løgting did give up on Ólavsøka 1995 on approving laws in both Faroese and Danish. | BLARK_translated | Løgtingið gavst tó á ólavsøku 1995 at samtykkja lógir á bæði føroyskum og donskum. |
It is therefore likely that a Faroese constitution or a new constitutional law will only be adopted in Faroese. | BLARK_translated | Sannlíkt er tí, at ein føroysk grundlóg ella ein nýggj stýrisskipanarlóg bert verður samtykt á føroyskum. |
However, of course there will be a need for a Danish translation. The Constitutional Committee will probably produce such a translation. | BLARK_translated | Tørvur verður tó sjálvsagt á eini danskari umseting. Eina slíka fer grundlógarnevndin helst at gera. |
Within the various subject areas, much attention is paid to what is stated in other constitutions. | BLARK_translated | Innan tey ymsu evnisøkini verður nógv hugt eftir, hvat stendur í øðrum grundlógum. |
Click on 'Links', where there are many constitutions to find. Question: | BLARK_translated | Trýst á 'Slóðir', har eru nógvar grundlógir at finna. Spurningur: |
Many constitutions have been made in a short time. For example, the Norwegian constitution in 1814 was made in one month. | BLARK_translated | Nógvar grundlógir eru gjørdar eftir stuttari tíð. Eitt nú varð norska grundlógin í 1814 gjørd eftir einum mánaði. |
The Løgting judged, however, that the work on the Faroese constitution should be done well and respectfully — and that takes time! | BLARK_translated | Løgtingið metti tó, at arbeiðið við føroysku grundlógini skuldi gerast væl og virðiliga - og tað tekur tíð! |
In the USA both the federation and the individual states have their own constitutions. | BLARK_translated | Í USA hava bæði samveldið og teir einstøku statirnir egna grundlóg. |
Denmark is under the 'EU constitution' (the EU treaty) which is common to the whole European Union. | BLARK_translated | Danmark er undir 'ES-grundlógini' (ES-traktatini) sum er felags fyri alt Europa Samveldið. |
The German countries similarly have three constitutions (national, state, and federal). | BLARK_translated | Týsku londini hava á sama hátt tríggjar grundlógir (lands, ríkis og samveldis) |
In a constitutional system, it is very important how power is distributed among the various constitutions. | BLARK_translated | Í samveldisskipanum er sera týðandi, hvussu valdið er býtt millum tær ymsu grundlógirnar. |
If the Faroe Islands wish to obtain full sovereignty, only one constitution will apply in the Faroe Islands. Question: | BLARK_translated | Um Føroyar ynskja at fáa fullveldi, verður einans ein grundlóg galdandi í Føroyum. Spurningur: |
A constitution is a law that forms the foundation for all other laws. | BLARK_translated | Ein grundlóg er ein lóg, sum er grundarlagið undir øllum øðrum lógum. |
1) which institutions a country has: parliament, government, courts, national bank, ombudsman and others - and the distribution of powers between them; | BLARK_translated | 1) hvørjar stovnar eitt land hevur: ting, stjórn, dómstólar, landsbanka, umboðsmann og aðrar - og valdsbýtið teirra millum; |
2) what the external relations are, e.g., whether the country is in a commonwealth/union with others; | BLARK_translated | 2) hvørji viðurskiftini eru úteftir, t.d. um landið er í samveldi við onnur; |
Sigurður Líndal is the leading expert in Old Norse law and the rights of small countries in a union. He also lectured the Constitutional Committee on Icelandic constitutional history and Iceland’s relationship with Denmark. | BLARK_translated | Sigurður Líndal er fremsti serfrøðingur í gomlum norrønum rætti og rættindum hjá smálondum í ríkissambandi. Hann var og greiddi grundlógarnevndini frá Íslendskari stjórnarsøgu og sambandi Íslands við Danmark |
At a meeting of the constitutional committee Sigurð Líndal gave an account of Iceland's relationship with Denmark in the period before and after the Act of Union of 1918. | BLARK_translated | Á fundi í grundlógarnevndini greiddi Sigurð Líndal frá um samband Íslands við Danmark í tíðini undan og eftir samríkjalógina frá 1918. |
Sigurður also gave a public lecture entitled: "Iceland before the Old Covenant - laws and understanding." | BLARK_translated | Sigurður helt eisini almennan fyrilestur undir heitinum: "Ísland undan Gamla Sáttmála - lógir og fatan". |
The lecture was about Icelandic government affairs in the period 930–1262. This was the period when Iceland was unified and organized with an Althing as the highest political institution. | BLARK_translated | Fyrilesturin var um íslendsk stjórnarviðurskifti í tíðarskeiðinum 930-1262. Hetta var tíðarskeiðið, tá Ísland varð sameint og varð skipað við einum altingi sum hægsta politiska stovni. |
Sigurður Líndal discussed lawmaking and the constitutional order in Iceland in that period. Where did Icelanders get their conception of law and justice, and what political ideas underlay this constitutional order and these laws? | BLARK_translated | Sigurður Líndal viðgjørdi lógarsmíð og stjórnarskipan í Íslandi í teirri tíðini. Hvaðani fingu íslendingar fatan sína um lóg og rætt, og hvørjar politiskar hugsjónir lógu aftanfyri hesa stjórnarskipan og hesar lógir? |
These questions are very important when it comes to getting an understanding of the constitutional position of the Faroe Islands and the position the Faroe Islands have vis-à-vis the Danish state. | BLARK_translated | Hesir spurningar hava sera stóran týdning, tá ræður um at gera sær eina fatan av, hvør støða Føroya er stjórnarrættarliga, og hvørja støðu Føroyar hava mótvegis danska ríkinum. |
Sigurður Líndal was also present at the meeting at the university to establish law as a discipline/science in the Faroe Islands. | BLARK_translated | Sigurður Líndal var eisini við á fundi á fróðskaparsetrinum um at stovna løgfrøði sum vísund í Føroyum. |
Legislation has therefore always been characterized by lawyers copying from others. The challenge in lawmaking is to breathe life into old formulations. | BLARK_translated | Lógarsmíð hevur sostatt altíð verið merkt av, at juristar hava skrivað av. Avbjóðingin í lógarsmíðið er at blása anda í gamlar orðingar. |
This sentence has received the constitutional committee. The committee was appointed on May 5 — in the calendar “Denmark’s liberation” — and has so far held two meetings; in addition, one meeting has been held in the social science group. | BLARK_translated | Henda setning hevur grundlógarnevdin fingið. Nevndin varð tilnevnd 5. mai - í álmanakkanum "Danmarks befrielse" - og hevur higartil havt tveir fundir, hartil hevur ein fundur verið í samfelagsfrøðingabólkinum. |
The Constitutional Committee is staffed with ten members of the parliament, two from each major party, one from each minor party. In addition there is one government minister. Besides the political members, five social scientists are appointed.

Hartil kemur ein landsstýrislimur. Afturat teimum politisku limunum eru fimm samfelagsfrøðinar tilnevndir. Hesir umboða sín egna sakkunleika og skulu tryggja tað fakliga støðið í arbeiðinum. |
The chairman of the constitutional committee is Jóan Pauli Joensen, professor, Dr. Phil. in folklore. He has studied and conducted research in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and in the Faroe Islands. Jóan Pauli has previously been the chairman of the committee that produced the blue EC opinion on the Faroe Islands’ relationsh... | BLARK_translated | Formaðurin í grundlógarnevdini er Jóan Pauli Joensen, professari, dr. phil. í fólkalívsfrøði. Hann hevur lisið og granskað, bæði í Svøríki, Danmark, Norra og í Føroyum. Jóan Pauli hevur áður verið formaður í nevdini, sum gjørdi bláa ES-álitið um samband Føroya við europeiska samveldið. |
A recurring element in the work will be to hold public hearings about the constitution work. A constitution must become the property of the people. Therefore it is crucial that many different ideas are brought forward about how we build the country on the basis of law. If the constitution is to become effective both as... | BLARK_translated | Ein tíðandi táttur í arbeiðnum verður at hava almennar hoyringar um grundlógararbeiðið. Ein grundlóg eigur at gerast fólkaogn. Tí er umráðandi, at nógvar ymsar hugsarnir koma fram, um hvussu vit byggja land við lóg sum grund. Skal grundlógin gerast virkin bæði sum løgfrøðilig áseting og sum ein partur av samleika og fó... |
But at the same time the constitution replaces the current government system law. The division of powers and responsibilities between the country's highest institutions is set out in the government system law, which came into force on St. Olaf's Day 1995. The experiences since then will probably form the basis for that... | BLARK_translated | Men samstundis kemur grundlógin í staðin fyri verandi stýrisskipanarlóg. Valds- og uppgávubýtið millum landsins ovastu stovnar er ásett í stýrisskipanarlógini, ið kom í gildi ólavsøkudag 1995. Royndirnar síðan tá fara helst at gerast støðið undir tí partinum av arbeiðnum. |
The biggest challenge will probably be to write the part of the constitution that deals with the fundamental freedoms and human rights. The provisions in the Danish constitution regarding citizens’ rights are mild and outdated. The European Convention on Human Rights and the EU’s rights to freedom in their area now pro... | BLARK_translated | Størsta avbjóðingin verður helst at skriva tann partin av grundlógini, sum viðger tey grundleggjandi frælsis- og mannarættindini. Ásetingarnar í donsku grundlógini um rættindi borgaranna eru linar og ótíðarhóskandi. Europeiski mannarættindarsáttmálin og ES frælsisrættindini á teirra øki veita í dag munandi betri verju.... |
There is no doubt that, like others before us, we will come up with catchphrases to put into our constitution. What will be decisive is that the committee work and a broad public debate ensure that the law establishes the country both as a legal prescription and as an idea. | BLARK_translated | Onki er at ivast í, at vit eins og aðrir undan okkum fara at finna fram fyndarorð at seta í okkara grundlóg. Tað avgerðandi verður at nevndararbeiðið og eitt breitt orðaskifti tryggja, at lógin byggir land bæði sum rættaráseting og sum hugmynd. |
The work in the Constitutional Committee is going well, but there is much to do. The committee has held 11 plenary meetings, with the whole committee present, as well as many subgroup meetings. | BLARK_translated | Arbeiðið í grundlógarnevndini gongur væl, men vítt er um at fara. Nevndin hevur hildið 11 plenumfundir, har øll nevndin er við, umframt nógvar bólkafundir. |
The political party distribution has not disrupted the work of the committee. There is agreement that the subject areas the committee is dealing with are of great importance — regardless of the constitutional-legal situation. | BLARK_translated | Politiska floksbýtið hevur ikki órógvað arbeiðið hjá nevndini. Semja er um, at evnisøkini, sum nevndin fæst við, hava stóran týdning - óheft av ríkisrættarligu støðuni. |
The work in the constitutional committee is, under all circumstances, not wasted. The deliberations in the constitutional committee have so far been rather interesting and principled. | BLARK_translated | Arbeiðið í grundlógarnevndini er undir øllum umstøðum ikki burturspilt. Viðgerðin í grundlógarnevndini hevur higartil verið rættiliga áhugaverd og prinsippiel." |
The composition of the board/committee seems to be successful; both social scientists and politicians have their perspectives to contribute. This ensures both professional and political sustainability. | BLARK_translated | Samansetingin av nevndini tykist vera væleydna, bæði samfelagsfrøðingar og politikarar hava sítt at føra fram. Hetta tryggjar bæði fakliga og politiska haldbæri. |
Based on the assignment and the discussions at the first meetings, the board has so far established 18 working groups to address various subject areas. | BLARK_translated | Við støði í arbeiðssetninginum og viðgerðini á fyrstu fundunum hevur nevndin higartil sett 18 arbeiðsbólkar at viðgera ymisk evnisøki. |
Each group has five permanent members, both social scientists and politicians. The working groups draft reports and prepare the consideration of individual issues. | BLARK_translated | Í hvørjum bólki eru fimm fastir limir, bæði samfelagsfrøðingar og politikarar. Arbeiðsbólkarnir gera upprit og fyrireika viðgerðina av einstøkum evnum. |
All groups give a presentation at the constitutional meeting, where there is then a discussion about the topic area. A summary of the presentation and the discussion will be available on the board’s website. | BLARK_translated | Allir bólkarnir hava framløgu á grundlógarfundi, har orðaskifti síðani er um evnisøkið. Ein samandráttur av framløguni og orðaskiftinum verður at síggja á heimasíðuni hjá nevndini. |
The Act on the Constitutional Work stipulates that the committee shall organize public hearings on its work and on the committee’s later proposal. The plan is both to arrange hearings on the various subject areas and otherwise to ensure broad information and wide public debate throughout the country. Several experts wh... | BLARK_translated | Í lógini um grundlógararbeiðið er ásett, at nevndin skal skipa fyri almennum hoyringum um arbeiðið og seinni uppskotið hjá nevndini. Ætlanin er bæði at skipa fyri hoyringum um ymsu evnisøkini og at á annan hátt tryggja eina breiða kunning og eitt breitt orðaskifti í øllum landinum. Fleiri serfrøðingar, ið vitja nevndin... |
The hearings are expected not to begin until the committee itself has had the opportunity to consider most of the issues. The chairman of the committee, Jóan Pauli Joensen, however, together with the committee's secretary, has informed about the committee’s work at various smaller meetings. | BLARK_translated | Hoyringarnar byrja væntandi ikki fyrr enn nevndin sjálv hevur havt høvi at viðgera flestøll evnini. Formaðurin í nevndini, Jóan Pauli Joensen hevur tó saman við skrivaranum hjá nevndini kunnað um arbeiðið hjá nevndini á ymsum smærri fundum. |
Here you will find information about the constitutional work to find out why, how and who, information about meetings and group work and more. | BLARK_translated | Her verða upplýsingar um grundlógararbeiðið at finna, um hví, hvussu og hvør, upplýsingar um fundir og bólkaarbeiðið og annað |
