ChaChapter 1: Nationality and Statelessness
given a further and significant impulse through the
launch of the #ibelong campaign on 4 November
2014. This global campaign is directed towards
the ambitious goal of ending statelessness by 2024
and UNHCR has elaborated a 10-point action plan
to achieve this aim.45 With a significant stateless
population in the MENA as well as many “gaps” in
MENA country’s policy when reviewed against the
10-point action plan – such as the presence of gender
discrimination in several states’ nationality laws – there
is much work to be done in the region to achieve the
milestones set out in the #ibelong campaign.

plan, see http://ibelong.unhcr.org/ .
