Thematic analysis of pledges Pledges relevant to resolving existing major situations of statelessness (Action 1 of the Global Action Plan) When the #IBelong Campaign was launched, there were 20 major reported non-refugee statelessness situations. Through changes to legislation or government policies, including measures to recognize populations who did not obtain nationality at the time of State independence, States may resolve these situations. In July 2019, Kyrgyzstan became the first country to resolve all known cases of statelessness on its territory. Significant reforms pertaining to the resolution of major situations of statelessness have also occurred in Kenya, Malaysia, Thailand and the Russian Federation, and two of these countries made pledges to take further steps. Other States in which major situations of statelessness persist are encouraged to draw inspiration from these efforts and to take the relevant steps to grant nationality to stateless populations on their territory.
