Description: This paper compares traditional international law and a human rights-based approach to addressing statelessness. Traditional law denies stateless persons certain benefits, while two mid-20th century conventions aimed to reduce statelessness. Scholars and practitioners increasingly favour the human rights-based approach, which prioritizes rights based on humanity and dignity. Key rights include nationality and birth registration. The paper analyses why the human rights-based approach is considered fairer, and its effectiveness compared to traditional law.
