Treaty Body Findings Recommendations CEDAW Committee (CEDAW 2013) Nationality 30. The Committee is concerned that women of Vietnamese origin undergo considerable difficulties in the registration of births and the acquisition of Cambodian citizenship, which places them at risk of statelessness. Nationality 31. The Committee calls upon the State party: (a) To intensify efforts to facilitate the birth registration of children born to Vietnamese mothers and their acquisition of citizenship; (b) To consider acceding to the 1954 Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons and the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness. Statelessness 27. The Committee is concerned about the situation of Khmer Krom and ethnic Vietnamese people who have been residing in Cambodia for generations and who have been left stateless or lack Cambodian identity documents. The Committee is also concerned about the insufficient safeguards to ensure that children born in Cambodia who would otherwise be stateless acquire Cambodian nationality and have access to identity documents (arts. 2, 24 and 26). The State party should take all measures necessary to ensure the full enjoyment of Covenant rights by all residents, including stateless persons. It should also facilitate access to identification documentation. In addition, the State party should guarantee the right of stateless children who were born in the territory of Cambodia to stateless parents to acquire a nationality.
