On the transfer of territory (Article 10)
Treaties shall ensure that statelessness does not occur due to a transfer of
territory. When no treaty is signed, the State(s) involved shall confer
its/their nationality on those who would otherwise become stateless as
a result of the transfer or acquisition of territory.
On an international agency (Article 11)
The Convention calls for the establishment, within the framework of the
United Nations, of a body to which an individual claiming the benefit
of the Convention may apply to have his/her claim examined and to be
assisted in presenting that claim to the appropriate authority. The
General Assembly has asked UNHCR to fulfill this responsibility.
On resolving disputes (Article 14)
Disputes between Contracting States concerning the interpretation or
application of the Convention that have not been resolved by other means
shall be submitted to the International Court of Justice at the request of
any one of the parties to the dispute.
Final Act
The Final Act recommends that persons who are stateless de facto
should, as far as possible, be treated as de jure stateless to enable them
to acquire an effective nationality.
