approaches. The secondary data, which supports the analysis, is based on the extensive review of the literature on the legal materials considered relevant and valid in relation to the major themes of this study. Such sources of the law are divided into the following categories: (1) primary legal sources, which include applicable national laws and international agreements, especially in the area of human rights law; (2) secondary legal sources, which involve literature reviews based on textual repositories, including books, journals, articles, scholarly papers, theses, dissertations, judicial opinions, documents, and reports, such as internet acquired information, and which overlap with human rights law, stateless populations, national law, and international law, and state sovereignty. The interdependence employers of these two types of sources are anticipated to complement and reinforce each other when deriving findings of a research. Research Methodology This study employs a combination of normative juridical (doctrinal) research and historical, comparative, and systematic legal approaches. The use of these diverse methodologies allows for a comprehensive and multi-dimensional analysis of the issue of statelessness, focusing on human rights law, state sovereignty, and the legal treatment of stateless populations (Badewa, 2022; Bahram, 2024; Bloom, 2017). Normative Juridical Approach The core methodology for this study is a normative juridical or doctrinal approach, which involves analyzing the legal rules, principles, and doctrines that govern statelessness and the rights of stateless individuals (Weissbrodt & Collins, 2006; Bianchini, 2017). This approach aims to evaluate the existing body of legal frameworks, both national and international, concerning the protection of stateless persons. The study critically examines the interpretations and applications of relevant laws, focusing on the principles of human rights law and how they intersect with national and international legal instruments. The normative analysis will provide a clear understanding of the current legal status of stateless individuals, the adequacy of protections offered by existing frameworks, and the effectiveness of their enforcement (Swider & den, 2017; Gyulai, 2012; Molnár, 2010). Secondary Data and Literature Review The secondary data supporting this study are derived from a comprehensive literature review. This involves gathering relevant and valid textual materials, including books, journals, scholarly articles, theses, dissertations, judicial opinions, and reports. These sources are essential for understanding the legal and human rights perspectives on statelessness. They also help in examining the intersection of national law, international law, and state sovereignty. The study will consider the legal literature on human rights law, the protection of stateless persons, and the legal status of stateless populations within the framework of global governance. Additionally, reports and documents from organizations such as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and other relevant bodies will be analyzed to complement and validate the primary legal sources. Integration of Primary and Secondary Sources The primary legal sources, which include national laws and international agreements such as the 1954 Convention and the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness, will be integrated with secondary legal sources to provide a well-rounded analysis. The relationship between these two categories of legal sources is crucial, as they will be used to derive findings that reflect both the theoretical and practical dimensions of statelessness (Batchelor, 1998). The normative approach, combined with historical, comparative, and systematic methods, ensures that the analysis is both comprehensive and nuanced, providing valuable insights into how international law and state practices interact in the context of statelessness. In summary, the methodology applied in this study combines multiple legal approaches to offer a robust analysis of statelessness and the protection of stateless individuals under international and national laws.
