ENS is a civil society alliance of over 180 organisations and individual experts in 41 European countries. ENS is committed to breaking the cycle of statelessness and ensuring that the rights of everyone living in Europe without a nationality are fully respected. ENS coordinates awareness-raising and advocacy projects and campaigns aiming to protect the rights of stateless people, promote realisation of the right to a nationality, end childhood statelessness, and raise awareness about the rights of minorities in terms of statelessness, migratory statelessness, and the arbitrary detention of stateless people. You can also subscribe to ENS’s newsletter and browse its comprehensive resource library to find out more about statelessness. We are grateful to the European Guardianship Network (EGN) and Jyothi Kanics (ENS Individual Member) for their support in preparing this briefing.
