4 1 PROTECTING STATELESS PERSONS FROM ARBITRARY DETENTION PROJECT OVERVIEW The European Network on Statelessness (ENS) is a civil society alliance with over 100 members, committed to addressing statelessness in Europe. This report is the final publication of a three-year project aimed at better understanding the extent and consequences of the detention of stateless persons in Europe, and creating tools and advocating for the protection of stateless persons from arbitrary detention through the application of regional and international standards. In this project, ENS has published a series of six country reports highlighting the gaps and raising awareness about the extent of the issue and impact on stateless people, as well as a toolkit for practitioners across Europe, and a collection of some of the personal stories from stateless people interviewed for the project.
