The Storting is Norway's parliament and is the legislative body that dominates the states politics. Through this body many decision related to the environment and to peacemaking are made. With the sudden chaos in Sri Lanka, the Storting has made it a mission to try and bring peace to the region and its ongoing civil war. One question to readers should be: Why is Norway so interested in peace in Sri Lanka? Norway has contributed and still contributes to peace around the world. It takes an active role in the development of Afghanistan and its drive towards a representative democracy. It continues to be a player in the Israeli-Palestinian conflist following the Oslo Peace Accords. It plays an active role in humanitarian efforts in Asia and Africa. But why the focus on Sri Lanka, is it a desire for peace or is there somthing else at play?
