The Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion
(ISI) is the first and only human rights NGO
dedicated to promoting the right to a nationality
and the rights of stateless people globally.
Founded in 2014 ISI’s work combines research,
training, advocacy, creating knowledge tools,
information-sharing and building strategic

alliances. Working across two offices, in London
ofCice
and the Netherlands, ISI’s work for the last 5 years has been focused on four key goals, the first of
which is to realise every child’s right to a nationality.
ISI’s work addressing childhood statelessness is driven by the goal of holding states accountable
for failing to protect and fulfil every child’s right to a nationality. To do so ISI aims to strengthen
the stateless literacy of child rights groups, directly engage children on statelessness, nationality
and rights, mainstream the right to a nationality, and unpack and address childhood statelessness
‘sticky issues’.xcv Most recently this has included the coordination of the 2023 Awareness Month
on Childhood Statelessness and Education across 13 countries globally.
