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. 18
