CHAPTER I campaigns where needed; interpreters/translators, welfare support for stateless children in need; and social work support for stateless children in care. 10. Engage in frequent, meaningful consultation and collaborate with stateless people, civil society organizations, community groups, lawyers and others to understand and address the challenges stateless children and their families face. 1. Enact nationality laws that comply with the 1961 Convention, the CRC and other international human rights laws and standards to prevent childhood statelessness. 4. Eliminate discrimination in nationality and birth registration laws, for example, against women, ethnic minorities, children born via assisted reproduction or on the basis of parents’ marital status, immigration status or gender. ANNEXES 69 RECOMMENDATIONS 5. Enact legal protections relating to data held by healthcare professionals, birth registrars and others involved in birth registration to prohibit data sharing with immigration authorities, so that parents are not inhibited from registering their child’s birth for fear of being reported to the immigration authorities. CHAPTER VII 3. Establish robust, accessible laws and procedures to determine nationality or statelessness at birth, and provide stateless children who arrive in the territory with a facilitated and expedited route to nationality. Such measures should contain adequate procedural safeguards and apply a low standard of proof and shared burden of proof for statelessness and nationality matters. CHAPTER VI 2. Enact human rights-compliant birth registration laws and policies that help to prevent childhood statelessness, simplify procedures and evidentiary requirements, and facilitate late birth registration. CHAPTER V Lawmakers CHAPTER IV 11. Ensure robust and transparent collection and publication of data relating to birth registration and the acquisition of nationality, particularly for refugees, members of minority groups, undocumented migrants and others at heightened risk of lack of birth registration or nationality. CHAPTER III 9. Implement information campaigns to increase awareness among parents, families and communities about the importance of civil registration. Field visits should follow campaigns to explain the information in person, verifying that the information was passed through and correctly understood. CHAPTER II 8. Recognize statelessness and barriers to birth registration as development issues and adopt effective remedies in line with the Sustainable Development Goals.
