UNHCR launched the #IBelong Campaign to End Statelessness on 4 November 2014 to galvanize States, partner agencies and civil society around ten concrete actions defined in the Global Action Plan to End Statelessness to identify, prevent and reduce statelessness, and enhance the protection of stateless people. The Campaign has been a powerful platform to advance efforts against statelessness, but more action is required by States to address legal and policy gaps that continue to leave millions of people stateless. Key achievements since the start of the #IBelong Campaign: • 448,300 formerly stateless people acquired a nationality or had it confirmed. • At least 21 States have adopted National Action Plans. • Kyrgyzstan resolved all known cases of statelessness and 12 other States made considerable progress in eradicating statelessness on their territory. • 13 States introduced safeguards in their nationality law to prevent childhood statelessness. • 3 States removed gender discrimination from their nationality law allowing mothers to confer nationality to their children on an equal basis as fathers. • 21 States have established statelessness determination procedures and 16 States introduced procedures for facilitated naturalization for stateless migrants. • 13 States acceded to the 1954 Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons • 17 States acceded to the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness. 2 UNHCR > #IBELONG CAMPAIGN TO END STATELESSNESS: ACCELERATING ACTION IN THE FINAL TWO YEARS OF THE CAMPAIGN
