Important victory for stateless children born in Norway
The Norwegian Ministry of Justice and Public Security has issued a new instruction to the immigration authorities to align their practice with Norway’s international obligations – making an important step towards ensuring that no child born in Norway remains stateless, following advocacy efforts made by the UNHCR and the Norwegian organization for Asylum Seekers (NOAS), with support provided by the European Network on Statelessness – including through its #StatelessKids campaign and using the tools developed by the Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion.

South African courts confirm the right to nationality of a stateless child - 20 year old legal principle protecting stateless children is finally implemented
On 6 September 2016 a 4 year court battle of a stateless child to access South African citizenship came to an end. Even though South African law provides citizenship by birth to stateless children born in the territory, Daniella had to spend 4 of her 8 years fighting to be recognised.

Ensuring gender equal nationality laws is key to ending statelessness
If statelessness is to be eradicated, it is vital that all States ensure that women and men have equal nationality rights – rights that govern one’s ability to acquire, change, retain and confer citizenship. Gender discrimination in nationality laws is one of the leading causes of statelessness, a fact underscored in UNHCR’s Global Action Plan to End Statelessness, which counts Action #3 as ending gender discrimination in nationality laws.

Protecting Stateless Persons from Arbitrary Detention
Evidence shows that detention of stateless people is a worrying trend across Europe. This is happening despite the fact that protection against arbitrary detention is well entrenched under international and regional law, as is the protection of stateless persons.
There is a huge gulf between state obligations to respect international human rights standards and the actual realisation of those rights in practice. The lack of protection and the growth of the immigration detention industry has left many vulnerable to grave human rights abuse.

A Generation of Syrians Born in Exile Risk a Future of Statelessness
Doctor Nazir’s pregnant wife arrived in Turkey with a one-year old and no documentation. They had fled the unbearable bombardment of their home town, Aleppo, while Dr. Nazir remained in Syria to work in an underground field hospital. Dr. Nazir had defected from the Syrian military in 2012, and was officially declared dead the same year. Because he no longer legally existed, Dr. Nazir was unable to register his 2013 marriage or the birth of his first child in Aleppo. When his second baby was born in Turkey in 2015, shortly after his wife’s arrival, she could not file an application for the baby’s birth certificate because Dr. Nazir remained in Syria and she had no legal proof of her marriage or her husband’s birth certificate.

A stateless person, a refugee and an irregular migrant walk into a bar…
She gets a beer and waits for the world cup game to begin.
One person, many identities. We all are and have been identified in numerous ways – nationality, region, city, ethnicity, skin colour, belief, gender, sexuality, job, school, university, sporting interest, hobby, friends, social circle, sub-culture, family - you name it, there is an identity and/or an identifier attached. Identity is as manifold as it is fluid, as it can be temporal and contradictory. We are all able to, and invariably do, thrive on this multiplicity. How boring, how impossible life would be if we were just one thing to all people at all times.

Out of Limbo: Promoting the right of stateless Roma people to a legal status in Italy
A significant proportion of Roma people originating from the Balkans and living in Italy are stateless or at risk of statelessness. In most cases they lack a residence permit or other identity documents. As undocumented persons, they have no or limited access to social services, health care, education, employment and housing as well as no political rights. They also risk receiving expulsion orders and being detained in a detention centre.
