Legal briefing on the rights of stateless Palestinians in the UK September 2025 briefing provides an overview of key issues in this area, as well as good practice case law from European jurisdictions. It does not seek to provide a comprehensive analysis of UK case law in this field. This briefing builds on our previous report Palestinians and the Search for Protection as Refugees and Stateless Persons (2022), co-published with BADIL – the Centre for Palestinian Rights & Residence, which provides a more in-depth analysis of some of the issues discussed, the history of Palestine, and critical reflections on European regional and national case law.4 Readers are encouraged to consult the 2022 report, as well as the Litigation Toolkit on Statelessness for Legal Practitioners, and complementary resources and developments published by the European Network on Statelessness (ENS): https://www.statelessness.eu. 4 European Network on Statelessness (ENS) and BADIL, Palestinians and the Search for Protection as Refugees and Stateless Persons (2022) pp 2-4. 3
