On 7 June, the State Migration Service Directorate in the Cherkasy region, Ukraine started issuing its new stateless travel document, which now meets the latest international standards on travel documents. The document is issued to stateless persons who permanently or temporarily reside in the country and the validity of the document was extended from three to ten years. On 12 May, the Government of Georgia reduced the statelessness status application fee by half in order to improve access to the procedure, in line with one of its pledges made at the 2019 High-Level Segment on Statelessness. On 14 and 25 May, in Morocco, UNHCR and the Law Faculties of Rabat, Oujda, and Casablanca organized three webinars on statelessness attended by close to 100 students and members of legal clinics. Participants were briefed on the causes and consequences of statelessness, the international legal framework on the protection of stateless persons, and the prevention of statelessness in the Moroccan context. The events aimed to raise awareness of statelessness among future law practitioners and o strengthen the capacity of legal clinics to assist migrants, refugees and asylum seekers in birth registration procedures.
