Further to that, the year 2014 will mark the 60th anniversary of the 1954 New
York Convention. Building on the momentum generated by the 2011 UNHCR
Ministerial Conference of States, 2014 presents an excellent opportunity to
reinforce awareness and action to address statelessness around the globe. As a
champion state on statelessness, Hungary will strive to assist the UNHCR in
its endeavor to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the 1954 New York
Convention, in order to jointly bring forward the plight of stateless people
around the world. The 2014 First Global Forum on Statelessness in The Hague31
will be an excellent occasion to reconfirm Hungary’s commitments and, hopefully, many states will follow, so as to make the world a better and more livable
place for these often invisible and highly vulnerable individuals.
