On 7 July, UNHCR organized the event “Ending Statelessness: The Road Ahead” on the margins of UNHCR’s 81st Standing Committee. Interventions were made by representatives from the United States Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration, UNICEF and UNHCR and the NGO United Stateless. The event was an opportunity to share progress and facilitate interaction with States and civil society towards a strong final push in the last years of the #IBelong Campaign. Important initiatives to improve data on statelessness were shared, as well as findings from the newly published report Background Note on Sex Discrimination in Birth Registration. BACKGROUND NOTE ON Sex Discrimination in Birth Registration In August, the Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion published the briefing paper “Failure to Protect: The Denial of Status, Detention and Refoulement of Rohingya Refugees in India” which was developed as a resource for those advocating for stronger protection of Rohingya in India. It provides an overview of the situation since 2017 and describes the impact of the deteriorating protection context on the Rohingya community. Made possible thanks to the support of COALITION ON EVERY CHILD’S RIGHT TO A NATIONALITY In July and September, the European Network on Statelessness (ENS) organized several events, including the webinar “Deprivation of nationality and the prevention of statelessness” to launch a new Statelessness Index briefing on this topic; the webinar “Is Europe falling behind on statelessness determination and protection?” to launch the publication of its Statelessness Index briefing on statelessness determination and protection in Europe; and an online debate on “Using litigation to end statelessness” to mark the launch of their new Statelessness Case Law Database. Protection, Ms. Gillian Triggs, reminded delegates that a spirit of partnership can make statelessness a fact of the past. Christiana Bukalo, a statelessness activist and founder of Statefree, called for stateless persons to be given the chance to influence the political space that decides on their situation. On 10 September, UNHCR and the Government of Turkmenistan, with the support of the UN Resident Coordinator in Turkmenistan, organized a subregional International Conference on Statelessness Eradication in Central Asia. Attended by over 50 participants, the conference was an opportunity for all five Central Asian States to take stock of achievements, exchange good practices and develop comprehensive strategies to address remaining gaps, including accession to the UN Statelessness Conventions. On 23 and 24 September, UNHCR and the Council of Europe’s European Committee on Legal Cooperation (CDCJ) convened the “International Conference on Statelessness and the Right to a Nationality in Europe”. Comprising a technical meeting of experts followed by an international conference, the event sought to open a discussion on how Council of Europe Member States can achieve the goals of the #IBelong Campaign by 2024.
