The European Network on Statelessness (ENS) is a network of non-governmental organisations, academic initiatives, and individual
experts committed to address statelessness in Europe. We believe that all human beings have a right to a nationality and that those
who lack nationality altogether – stateless persons – are entitled to adequate protection. We are dedicated to strengthening the
often unheard voice of stateless persons in Europe, and to advocate for full respect of their human rights. We aim to reach our goals
by conducting and supporting legal and policy development, awareness-raising and capacity building activities.
ENS currently has 81 members in over 30 European countries. Six serve on its Steering Committee, 44 are associate
member organisations, and 31 are individual associate members.
