IDLO AND UNHCR Box 9: Agenda for future research Complementing the policy recommendations, IDLO and UNHCR propose an agenda for further research on the relationship between solving statelessness and the rule of law, including efforts to: • Develop multidisciplinary and multi-stakeholder research on a rule of law approach to resolving statelessness in specific regional contexts, to bridge identified evidence gaps and increase understanding of the issue at the regional level. • Expand the available knowledge on how a rule of law approach to resolving statelessness might intersect with other specific forms of exclusion and precarity, with particular interest in women and girls, youth and children, and internally displaced people, refugees, and those in a migratory context. • Develop standardised, evidence-based strategies and tools for screening and reviewing legislative, policy, and administrative frameworks that may impact the realisation of rights by stateless people • Collaborate with partners at the global and national levels to test and document justice surveys and assessments that focus on the needs of stateless people, and explore practical ways to ensure that stateless people and their needs are included in efforts to close the justice data gap, as a crucial prerequisite for achieving SDG16.3 by 2030. • Explore concrete examples of legal empowerment and self-organisation of stateless people that have resulted in legal or practical changes, such as acquisition of nationality or access to services, to draw out general insights on what works, how interventions can be scaled-up, and what support is needed from international actors. 15
