Description: The article examines the overlap between statelessness and refugee status, noting that about one in ten refugees are stateless. Using Denmark and Sweden as case studies, it analyses national asylum laws and policies for identifying and addressing statelessness among refugees. The paper highlights how temporary asylum measures, cessation of refugee status, and barriers to citizenship contribute to indefinite statelessness. It also discusses challenges like undeportability and arbitrary detention, evaluating these practices against the countries’ obligations under the 1951 Refugee Convention and the 1954 Statelessness Convention.
