Council of Europe
In the framework of its intergovernmental activities, the Council of Europe
hereby commits to:
Promote the accession of all its (47) Member States to the European
Convention on Nationality (CETS 166) and the Convention on the
Avoidance of Statelessness in relation to State Succession (CETS No.200).
Encourage its Member States that have made reservations to the abovementioned conventions to withdraw them, bearing in mind the object and
purpose of these conventions.
Support, in parallel, UNHCR's campaign urging all States to accede to the
1954 Convention Relating to the Status of Stateless Persons and the 1961
Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness.
In close cooperation with UNHCR, carry out activities in support of (47)
Member States aimed at establishing or, where appropriate, improving the
functioning of statelessness determination procedure, enhancing the
protection of stateless persons under international law and enabling them
to access their rights, including the right to acquire a nationality.
Promote the right of every stateless child to have access to his or her birth
certificate and civil status documents. In its support activities, the Council
of Europe will in particular take into account the principles set out in
Recommendation No. R (99) 18 of the Committee of Ministers on the
prevention and reduction of statelessness and Recommendation CM/Rec
(2009)13 of the Committee of Ministers on the nationality of children. These
support activities will consist of technical meeting(s) enabling government
experts to share experiences and good practices in improving procedures
for the determination and resolution of statelessness, the protection of
stateless persons and access to their rights.
