The Storting has unanimously adopted the mandate, composition and framework for an independent inquiry commission to investigate issues related to the Epstein documents. The commission will, among other things, look at possible links between the network and Norwegian public officials, as well as assess the integrity of the administration and the foreign service's control mechanisms.

The Storting has decided to appoint an independent investigation commission to investigate issues that have become relevant through the publication of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. The commission's main task is to ensure a clear factual basis for understanding and learning, in order to improve the integrity and transparency of Norwegian authorities. The mandate includes investigating possible relations between the Epstein network and Norwegian politicians, officials or others with a connection to Norwegian authorities. The commission will also assess the consequences for Norwegian interests and security, including whether ties may have influenced foreign policy priorities. Furthermore, the commission will look at culture, governance systems and control mechanisms in the foreign service, as well as the allocation of aid funds. The commission will be led by Amund Djuve and has been tasked with submitting its final report by 31 January 2028.

Hva er dette?

A commission of inquiry is a committee appointed by the Storting to investigate a specific chain of events or circumstances. This is a rare measure used when the Storting needs an independent review of the facts that go beyond what can be clarified through ordinary procedures.

Hvorfor kom forslaget?

The proposal was put forward to follow up on the previous decision by the Storting to investigate issues raised by the Epstein documents, with the aim of uncovering any influence, abuse of positions or failure in the control mechanisms in the administration.

Hovedkonflikt

There is no conflict about the establishment of the commission, as the decision was unanimous. The discussion has been about ensuring a broad and flexible mandate that allows the commission to follow relevant tracks, while maintaining a clear division of roles between the commission's actual investigation and the Parliament's parliamentary responsibility.

Hva betyr det?

The establishment of the commission means that a thorough, independent investigation will be made of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the administration's handling of relations and funds. This may lead to the uncovering of unfavourable conditions, but also to recommendations for new control mechanisms and changes in practice to strengthen confidence in public administration.

Slik har saken utviklet seg

The Storting has moved from a principle decision to establish a commission to adopt the specific mandate, the names of the members and the framework for the work.

  2. 2026-04-14 · Discussion The Storting debates the mandate and composition.
