Recommendation 5
7.27
Annex 1 of the Global Recommendations sets out an annotated
assessment template to support States to undertake country-specific
or regional risk assessments. The template will assist States to
analyse relevant domestic laws, policies and practices, identify
potential gaps or lack of safeguards against statelessness, and
examine potential conflicts of laws that may compound or lead to
risks of statelessness.
Implementation:

To implement Recommendation 5, States can:
•Undertake country-specific and regional risk assessments to
identify potential risks of statelessness in relevant laws and
policies using the template set out in Annex 1.
•Undertake further analysis into the interaction between the
nationality laws of specific States of departure and destination
to identify where risks of statelessness might arise in situations
where displacement or migration in the context of climate
change is anticipated.
•Work within regional organisations of which they are members to
harmonize nationality laws, particularly to reduce conflicts of laws
that may create or increase risks of statelessness.
In crisis situations, risks of loss of nationality
and statelessness can arise where domestic laws
and policies fail to provide safeguards against
loss of nationality and statelessness
