Ms. Isata Kabia, Minister of Social Welfare, Gender and Children’s Affairs of the Republic of Sierra Leone speaking during the High-level side event at CSW62, New York ©UN Women/Ryan Brown Implementation of the Global Action Plan On 16 February, Burkina Faso officially launched its National Action Plan to end statelessness at a high-level ceremony. The plan is in line with the 2017 Banjul Plan of Action and aims to eradicate statelessness by 2024. In line with Action 3 (Remove gender discrimination from nationality laws), the Council of Ministers in Sudan proposed an amendment to the 1994 Sudanese Nationality Act on 25 February. The change would allow Sudanese mothers to confer nationality to children where the father is from South Sudan, as Sudanese fathers can confer nationality to children where the mother is South Sudanese. With respect to Action 2 (Ensure that no child is born stateless), on 10 March, the Congress of Peru approved amendments to Article 52 of the Constitution to facilitate access to Peruvian nationality for persons born abroad to Peruvian mothers and/or fathers. The amendment eliminates an age limitation that existed previously: parents no longer need to register a child born abroad with Peruvian authorities before the child is 18 years of age. Final approval is required by the Executive. Togo has begun a review of its Nationality Law to bring it in line with the Constitution, which provides for equality between women and men in their ability to confer their nationality to their children. Today Togo remains one of 25 countries where mothers are unable to confer nationality to their children on an equal basis as fathers, but there are strong indications in favor of reform in the near future. On 6 January, amendments to the Citizenship Law entered into force in Armenia. Among other things, the amendments allow for children born to an Armenian national and a foreigner to obtain Armenian citizenship based on the consent of only one parent. Previously, both parents had to provide consent. 3
