MOVING STATELESSNESS FORWARD 201 The quality evaluation and development mechanism has been set up: a Quality Assurance Manual has been prepared (available in Hungarian and in English), which is a joint product of the Office of Immigration and Nationality (national authority responsible for statelessness determination) and UNHCR’s Hungary Unit. This manual, being in use since the end of last year, is specifically designed for eligibility officers working at the Regional Directorates of the immigration authority and it takes into account UNHCR Guidelines on Statelessness No. 1 and 2.29 Finally, promotion of the two UN Conventions and mainstreaming their values, principles and protective rules is an on-going activity in various forms, such as highlighting the importance of these conventions in different international conferences and seminars, receiving study visits from states interested in acceding and advising them, as well as organizing events to mainstream these instruments and explaining their advantages. 4 Outlook to the Future What does the future hold? The Hungarian government continues to pursue the above mentioned policy line and to promote the issue of protecting the stateless in international cooperation. To name a few, in December 2013, the Hungarian Ministry of Interior is going to organize a seminar with Moldova, in the framework of the EU Eastern Partnership Panel on Migration and Asylum on implementing international obligations on statelessness. This includes sharing experiences of functioning statelessness determination procedures amongst EU Member States and Eastern Partners (Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine as well as Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia). Another important upcoming event is the 2nd UN High-Level Dia­ logue on Migration and Development to be held in October 2013.30 This highprofile global gathering will also be an excellent occasion for Hungary to red flag her activities and achievements in this field and to advocate for strengthening the efforts and commitments of the international community, so as to better protect the stateless as well as to prevent and reduce statelessness. 29 30 UNHCR, ‘Guidelines on Statelessness No. 1: The definition of ‘Stateless Person’ in Article 1(1) of the 1954 Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons’ (20 February 2012, HCR/GS/12/01) <www.refworld.org/docid/4f4371b82.html> accessed 15 September 2013; UNHCR (n 10).
