📅 12 November 2024 📍 Noorwegen

After considering the Truth and Reconciliation Commission report, the Storting expressed its deepest apology to Sámi, Kvens/Norwegian Finns and Forest Finns for the Norwegianization policy. It also called for continuing work on reconciliation. The apology recognized state responsibility for language and cultural suppression; implementation of the commission’s recommendations remains a separate measure requiring resources and sustained action.
