Country Position Paper: Statelessness in Iraq
This document provides information on the profiles of stateless individuals and persons who may be at
risk of statelessness due to nationality or civil documentation problems in Iraq. It should not be taken to
be comprehensive, and there may be other situations in which statelessness arises in the country, or other
specificities, that differ from the information given here. The analysis presented here is based on a desk
review of relevant sources, conducted between April 2019 to September 2019, supplemented by input and
feedback from experts consulted in October 2019. The research was informed by and draws from the
previous work of the Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion in collaborating with partners (academics,
community members and human right activists) to monitor developments relating to statelessness in Iraq.
A full bibliography of the resources used can be found at the end of this document.
