Failure to identify stateless children and practice of registering children as “nationality unknown”; III. Lack of a statelessness determination procedure; and IV. Lack of transparency of data on stateless children and children with “nationality unknown”; and V. Inadequate data collection on stateless children who have acquired Dutch nationality.
