Description: This regional report is based on the country studies carried out by UNHCR in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. Chapter 1 describes government, UN and civil society initiatives to identify stateless persons through registration campaigns, population censuses and surveys. Chapter 2 analyses law and administrative practice relating to the acquisition, change, loss and deprivation of nationality and identifies gaps in legislation and its practical implementation that can lead to statelessness. Chapter 3 looks at government procedures aimed at determining the status of stateless persons, and their dependents, and considers to what extent they incorporate due process guarantees. Chapter 4 analyses what protection stateless persons enjoy against exploitation and violence, and whether this extends to vulnerable groups among them, like stateless children. The access of stateless persons to basic goods and essential services is assessed in Chapter 5. Finally, Chapter 6 examines the opportunities stateless persons have for self-reliance and full participation in the communities around them.
