Persons with “unidentified” nationality represent another potentially relevant category for the purpose of mapping
statelessness. In this category, eight recognised refugees and no persons granted subsidiary protection were
registered in 2012. Between the end of 2013 and 2015, there were four recognised refugees and no beneficiaries
of subsidiary protection. In the category of Palestinians, there is only one recorded person who was granted
refugee status in 1994.
Figure 5 shows the number of stateless persons granted refugee status from 2007 to 2017. It concerns 38 cases in
total and a relatively declining trend compared to the positive decision-making on subsidiary protection.
