Thematic analysis of pledges Pledges relevant to issuing nationality documentation to those with entitlement to it (Action 8 of the Global Action Plan) While lack of documentation alone does not usually mean a person is stateless, denial of nationality documentation due to discrimination against particular groups who are not recognized as nationals is a major cause of statelessness. To address statelessness caused in this way, procedures to obtain documentation should be affordable, accessible and implemented in a non-discriminatory manner. Since the launch of the #IBelong Campaign, Kyrgyzstan is the only State which has issued nationality documentation to all persons with entitlement to it. Progress has also been made in Côte d’Ivoire, Dominican Republic, Iraq, Kenya, Latvia, Malaysia, Niger, Philippines, Tajikistan, Thailand and Yemen.
