• States should address gaps in safeguards in nationality law, policy and practice to ensure every child who would otherwise be stateless acquires a nationality as soon as possible after birth in line with 1961 Convention • States should introduce effective SDPs in line with good practice and ensure these are accessible and that applicants’ rights are assured • States must pay special attention to the best interests of children of refugees born in exile who are unable to acquire proof of birth registration and/or nationality due to their parents’ status as asylum seekers or refugees, including by registering births of children on their territory who were born in transit and never registered, and granting nationality where children cannot register with a parent’s embassy of nationality due to their status as asylum-seekers/refugees • NGOs and legal aid providers should invest in and develop more participatory methodologies to casework • Donors should resource and foster the expertise required to enable organisations to invest time and capacity in resolving complex cases of children affected by statelessness
