Thematic analysis
of pledges
The majority of pledges fall within the scope of one or more of the ten Actions contained
within the Global Action Plan, which is the framework for the #IBelong Campaign.
The thematic focuses of pledges which fall directly under one or more
of the ten Actions of the Global Action Plan are as follows.
Action 1: Resolve existing major situations of statelessness
Action 2: Ensure that no child is born stateless through establishing or strengthening
legal safeguards against childhood statelessness
Action 3: Remove gender discrimination from nationality laws
Action 4: Prevent denial, loss or deprivation of nationality on discriminatory grounds
Action 6: Grant protection status to stateless migrants and facilitate their naturalization
Action 7: Ensure birth registration for the prevention of statelessness
Action 8: Issue nationality documentation to those with entitlement to it
Action 9: Accede to the UN Statelessness Conventions and remove reservations to
the Conventions
Action 10: Improve qualitative and quantitative data on stateless populations
Pledges which do not fall directly under one or more Actions of the Global Action Plan are
nevertheless important to achieving the goals of the #IBelong Campaign.3 For example,
several pledges included the establishment of national or regional action plans which will likely
encompass various elements of the Global Action Plan.

A total of 53 pledges from States, 25 pledges from international/regional organizations and 40 pledges from civil
society organizations did not fall directly under one or more of the actions in the Global Action Plan. Some of these pledges do,
however, fall into the additional areas of thematic focus identified in this publication. Please also note that some pledges
encompassed more than one theme. All pledges are annexed to this publication.
