in a limited set of circumstances it may not be necessary to provide for residence upon recognition. One view was that this would be the case for stateless persons in a migration context who can immediately return to a State of former habitual residence where they enjoy permanent residence as well as the full range of civil, economic, social and cultural rights and have a reasonable prospect of acquiring nationality of that State. Similarly, while a form of protection (including some kind of immigration status), may be necessary in the short term, grant of residence may not be necessary where an individual can acquire or re-acquire nationality of another State within a reasonable period of time through simple, accessible and purely formal procedures, where the authorities do not have any discretion to refuse to take the necessary action. 28. States should facilitate family reunification for recognized stateless persons who receive a right of residence. Stateless individuals who are recognized as refugees 29. If a stateless person is simultaneously a refugee, he or she should be protected according to the higher standard which in most circumstances will be the standard of treatment foreseen under international refugee law (supplemented by international human rights law). Thus, where a stateless individual qualifies for asylum as a refugee under national law and this is more favourable in substance compared to the immigration status awarded to stateless persons, States should accord such individuals refugee status or the rights which flow from such status. Determination Procedures in States that are not Party to the 1954 Convention 30. States that are not party to the 1954 Convention are nonetheless bound by provisions of international human rights law to respect the rights of stateless persons within their territory (for example, the prohibition against arbitrary detention pursuant to Article 9(1) of the ICCPR and the obligation to ensure that every child has a nationality pursuant to Article 24(3) of the ICCPR and Article 7(1) of the CRC). Statelessness is, therefore, a juridically relevant fact in this context. Moreover, non-party States may find it useful to establish statelessness determination procedures and a number have actually done so. In addition, such States may find helpful guidance in the provisions of the 1954 Convention with respect to their response to statelessness, for example, with regard to the provision of identity and travel documents to stateless persons. 7
