Recommendations GCHR is deeply concerned by the rise in using legal measures against naturalised persons and the creation of an additional class of stateless people in Kuwait with no rights. Therefore, GCHR is calling on the Kuwaiti government to: 1. Reconsider the amendments made to the Nationality Law and allow for legal experts to examine the amendments according to the Kuwaiti Constitution and international standards; 2. Suspend and reverse all the decisions made by the state of stripping naturalised people of their Kuwaiti nationality, considering the dire implications on the state and society; 3. Join the 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol to address the stateless population’s needs and concerns; 4. Adopt a national asylum legislation and ensure due process for stateless persons; and 5. Ensure that Kuwaiti citizens are protected to express their opinions and advocate for their rights without fear of harm or reprisals. 23 Kuwait: Amendments to Kuwaiti Nationality Law pose serious threats to human rights
