Description: The present paper seeks to answer the question what de facto statelessness is by comparing it with the meaning of the term “de jure stateless.” Part I shows how efforts to create an international statelessness regime for de facto stateless persons were less successful than they were for de jure stateless persons. Part II discusses how in the 1990s UNHCR and others began to expand the concept of de facto statelessness and analyzes the main categories of de facto statelessness persons. Part III concludes that the traditional definition of de facto statelessness is still valid and proposes an interpretation of that definition.
