Supporting regional and global pledges and initiatives UNHCR is also supporting global and regional-level work to address statelessness, including pledges made by inter-governmental entities, regional civil society networks, and other UN agencies. UNHCR for instance supports the African Union Commission to implement its pledge on the adoption of the draft Protocol to the African Charter on Human Rights on the Right to a Nationality and the Eradication of Statelessness in Africa. UNHCR is also supporting the Pan African Parliament with the development of a model law on nationality which is drafted in light of the draft Protocol. Other global and regional entities that UNHCR is working with to implement their pledges include the Inter-Parliamentary Union, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Central Asian Network on Statelessness, the European Network on Statelessness, and the World Council of Churches, among other entities. To improve statelessness statistics, UNHCR is supporting the development of the International Recommendations on Statelessness Statistics, which is led by the Expert Group on Refugee, IDP and Statelessness Statistics.
