“Statelessness can lead to a devastating cycle of
deprivation and vulnerability. In the five years since the
launch of the #IBelong Campaign, we have witnessed
remarkable progress on many fronts, including new
accessions to the UN Statelessness Conventions.
However, millions of people still suffer the lifelong denial
of their human rights because they are stateless. And
certain worrying trends, including a rise in damaging
forms of nationalism, and increased forced displacement,
threaten to increase statelessness in some parts of the
world if action isn’t taken.
Now - more than ever - we need strengthened
international resolve to take the steps set out in this
Global Action Plan so as to ensure that no one is
stateless in 2024.”
