Legal briefing on the rights of stateless Palestinians in the UK September 2025 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This briefing is published and authored by the European Network on Statelessness (ENS). ENS is a civil society alliance of over 180 organisations and individual experts in 41 countries committed to addressing statelessness in Europe. Everyone has the right to a nationality. ENS believes this must be respected and that the human rights of people who lack a nationality – stateless people – must be protected. ENS is dedicated to working with stateless people in Europe to advocate for their rights and aims to reach its goals through law and policy development, awareness-raising, and capacity-building. ENS is very grateful to all who gave their time and expertise to review and comment on drafts of this briefing, and particularly to the members of ENS’ Community Advisory Board for its work with Palestinians, and ENS members based in the UK. We also wish to acknowledge the contribution of lawyers who have provided case summaries to the Statelessness Case Law Database, and who support our impact litigation efforts across Europe. The publication of this briefing was supported by a grant from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation. ENS would also like to acknowledge the financial support and time contributions made through our probono partnerships with a number of law firms, which is essential to the development and continuous improvement of the Statelessness Case Law Database. The Statelessness Case Law Database is a free online resource containing national and regional case law covering Europe, as well as international jurisprudence addressing statelessness. The database covers jurisprudence from any jurisdiction in Europe, the European Court of Human Rights, the Court of Justice of the European Union and UN human rights treaty bodies. It is managed by the European Network on Statelessness (ENS) with contributions and support from ENS members and partners. 40
