A/HRC/23/23
(k)
Facilitate the acquisition of nationality for those who do not benefit from
recent reforms in nationality laws because the law is not retroactive or has other
stringent requirements.
(l)
Ensure that effective remedies are available and accessible to those
affected by sex discriminatory provisions in nationality laws. States should also widely
disseminate all relevant judicial decisions and recommendations of human rights
mechanisms on nationality, and ensure their implementation.
(m) Implement training programmes for Government officials, the judiciary
and other relevant stakeholders at all levels on reformed nationality laws. States
should also raise awareness of the public, in particular women, on their equal right to
nationality and on recently amended laws and procedures.
(n)
Protect women human rights defenders involved in nationality-related
campaigns and ensure effective representation of women in all reforms to nationality
law, whether at national, regional or international level.
(o)
Strengthen collaboration between stakeholders working to end
discrimination against women in nationality laws and those working to prevent
statelessness. This includes States, international organizations, civil society groups and
affected individuals themselves.
(p)
The Human Rights Council, including the universal periodic review, the
special procedures and the treaty bodies should continue to review the laws and
practices of States with respect to discrimination against women in nationality-related
matters, including where this results in statelessness of women or their children. Such
mechanisms should continue to engage with civil society, in particular with women’s
organizations.
