Aşkın 231 their registration to a State citizenship at least for a temporary short time to prevent from being stateless. An attempt to identify and resolve the phenomenon of statelessness, perceived as a global problem, with international agreements was assessed mostly over existing individuals, and the rights were explained. The first comprehensive convention, which states that children have the right to a nationality as soon as they are born, is based on the Declaration of the Rights of the Child published by the United Nations. That is why this contract focuses on the rights that an individual will have by birth. In this respect, the individuals have the right to become a citizen and to be named and to be cared for by their parents when they are born. The article 7.1 of the Convention (UN, 1989, p. 3) guarantees this right of the child with the following statement; “The child shall be registered immediately after birth and shall have the right to a name from birth, the right to acquire a nationality and, as far as possible, the right to know and be cared for by his or her parents.” The next article 7.2 says that “States Parties shall ensure the implementation of these rights in accordance with their national law and their obligations under the relevant international instruments in this field, in particular where the child would otherwise be stateless.” Using this right proves the existence of an individual while ensuring responsibility for the official authority. In addition, the birth certificate and citizenship establish a bond between persons and their families and determine the individual’s belonging in the international arena as an upper stage (Reynolds and Grisgraber, 2015, p. 2-3). When viewed to the above items, many open items are put in the convections to prevent people from statelessness, although the reflection of this situation in practice is not fully realised as it requires both a long process and cost. The study conducted by NRC (2017, p. 3) on Syrians in Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq concluded that 52% did not have the marriage agreement, marriage certificate, or family registration guide that could prove their marriage. However, it is not possible to evaluate those who live outside of Syria in a single category. The first category refers that they were married in Syria, but not registered, the second category refers that their marriage is registered in Syria but their documents may be lost or deformed during the migration, the third category refers that they were married in the country they migrated but it is not registered. These three categories cause children to remain stateless. According to Syrian law, marriages made abroad must be reported to the Syrian consulate within the next 90 days. However, Syrians are hesitant about being recorded for various reasons. At this point, one of the main reasons why Syrian migrants do not want to be included in the registration system is their uneasiness that the Syrian regime will know where they reside. In this respect, the fact that they do not want to be deciphered, and the shortage of information on this subject cause people to stay away from the registration system. However, another reason regarding security is the migration to Europe, which Syrians mostly hope, and which still stands as a major obstacle to being involved in the registration system. As a result of these, a non-registration and statelessness situation is formed. In addition, as a tradition in Syria, the informing authorities after 2 months of birth to prevent the registration fee from going for nothing, considering the possibility of dying of baby, is another important obstacle to the registration of newborn babies (Reynolds and Grisgraber, 2015, p. 6- 9). The states where Syrians emigrated have achieved successful results, especially with the help of international organisations to facilitate registrations on births, deaths, and others. However, the Syrians encounter a different procedure from their country, causing them to face difficulties in the new countries where they migrate. For example, in the case of a Syrian couple having a new baby, Copyright @ 2020 BORDER CROSSING Transnational Press London
