Statelessness Working Paper Series No. 2017/03 before through the implementation of the #Chilereconoce project. Involving the government was the only effective way of giving the project sustainability, and of reaching an important amount of children. In this regard, the State had a duty to step in to both put an official end to the CTF registration practice and make effective reparations to those who remain in nationality limbo as a result. The results of #Chilereconoce went above everybody’s expectations. Nevertheless, there are still many challenges to be able to say that Chile has eradicated statelessness: many children still remain registered as CTF and the State has still not acceded the 1954 Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons, or the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness. #Chilereconoce showed how different institutions (State, NGOs, academia, and International Organisations) can join efforts and strengthen each other’s work, and in the end, produce a greater impact, in this case, to secure the right to a nationality and to contribute to the reduction of statelessness at a global level. We hope that the second phase of the project can continue paving this road. 9
