Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law 53 (2021) Ghosts in America: Working Towards Building a Legal Framework for Stateless Individuals in the United States It would also be financially devastating on the family they leave behind in the United States. Part Four: Policy Recommendations for the United States Part Four explores the possible policy recommendations for the United States, starting with the least desirable solutions and ending with the most desirable. This Section will conclude that the best recommendation is a needs-based solution that synthesizes what stateless individuals need most with what is practically possible in the current political climate. This Note does not claim that the most desirable solution is the perfect solution. However, because of the intense vulnerability that stateless individuals endure, 287 it is imperative that there be a meaningful effort to find the best solution for them. For this discussion, we will not consider “recalcitrant” countries and visa sanctions, indefinite orders of supervision, and repatriation programs as possible solutions because their downsides have been discussed at length earlier in this Note. As a threshold issue, the United States should accede to the 1954 Convention and the 1961 Convention. 288 First, due to increased global migration and intermarriages between citizens of different States, more individuals have to deal with complicated legal and procedural requirements to establish their citizenship. 289 By acceding to both statelessness conventions, there will be increased legal transparency and predictability with respect to other States, as more States accept the rules contained in these treaties. 290 Second, if more States accede to the statelessness conventions, there will be greater international cooperation to prevent statelessness. 291 Third, in acceding to the statelessness, States undertake to identify potential stateless populations and take measures to prevent and reduce statelessness 287.
