UNHCR’s protection officer in Colombia stated: “After the work we have been doing in the crisis of the border of Venezuela in the Guajira, we believe there are many children in a situation of ‘nationality to be confirmed’ but have no numbers to measure the scope of the problem. It is very new and in the past we had not dealt with cases like these.” Interviews held during the month of September 2015. The Global Protection Cluster of UNHCR and partner organizations refer to this term in a document of October 2015 in which they set the objectives and common terminology for tending to mixed migration flows in the Colombia Venezuela border. Defining the concept as: “cases in which upon a first study, it is unknown whether the person has a nationality or is stateless. Often times people do not have proof of their nationality and have links with more than one state based on place of birth, nationality of their parent , marriage or usual place residence” ( Author’s translation): See page 6: http://www.globalprotectioncluster.org/_assets/files/field_protection_clusters/Colombia/ files/cluster-de-proteccion-colombia-personas-movilidad-2015-10.pdf; Likewise, UNHCR uses the term in its website: http://www.acnur.org/t3/noticias/noticia/acnur-y-migracion-colombia-por-laspersonas-con-necesidad-de-proteccion-internacional/. 329.
