UNHCR is publishing a series of Good Practices Papers to help
States, with the support of other stakeholders, achieve the goals
of its Campaign to End Statelessness within 10 Years. These goals
are to:
Resolve the major
situations of
statelessness that exist
today
Prevent the emergence
of new cases of
statelessness
Each Good Practices Paper corresponds to one of the 10 Actions proposed in UNHCR’s
Global Action Plan to End Statelessness: 2014 – 2024 and highlights examples of how
States, UNHCR and other stakeholders have addressed statelessness in a number
of countries. Solutions to the problem of statelessness must be tailored to suit the
particular circumstances prevalent in a country; as such, these examples are not
intended to serve as a blueprint for strategies to counter statelessness everywhere.
However, governments, NGOs, international organizations and UNHCR staff seeking
to implement the Global Action Plan will be able to adapt the ideas they find in these
papers to their own needs.
