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. 2
