The Campaign to End Statelessness October – December 2019 Update #IBelong Join us in our Campaign to End Statelessness Commemorating the 5th anniversary of the #IBelong Campaign Events were organized in different locations to commemorate the 5th anniversary and mid-point of the #IBelong Campaign. In Geneva, Switzerland, a special screening of the award-winning movie Capernaum was hosted by the Graduate Institute Geneva on 4 November. The movie sensitively depicts statelessness and social issues such as early marriage, irregular migration and poverty. Opening remarks were made by UNHCR’s Assistant High Commissioner for Protection, Gillian Triggs. The movie was followed by a panel discussion with Anuradha Sen Mookerjee, a Research Fellow at the Graduate Institute Geneva, Emma Batha, Journalist at Thomson Reuters, and Melanie Khanna, Statelessness Section Chief of UNHCR. In Italy, UNHCR marked the anniversary of the #IBelong Campaign on 12 November with the presentation of a new report “The impact of statelessness on access to human rights in Italy, Portugal and Spain”. The report draws on testimonies of (formerly) stateless persons and persons at risk of statelessness, as well as contributions by civil society and authorities from the three countries concerned. During the event, UNHCR also screened a documentary on the Rohingya produced in 2018 by Innerspeak Digital Media Inc. The screening was followed by a Q&A session and debate with Paolo Farci, a lawyer with vast expertise on statelessness, and stateless persons who contributed to the report. 1
