UUM Journal of Legal Studies, 13, No. 1 (January) 2022, pp: 345–380 to its domestic law (or municipal law), depending on whether the state is a signatory party to the Conventions related to statelessness. Several countries like the United Kingdom and Georgia, have formulated policies or laws pertaining to stateless people or children within its national framework, regardless of being a signatory member to the 1954 Convention and the 1961 Convention relating to statelessness. The United Kingdom caters for laws, policies and guidelines, both in piecemeal and consolidated forms, in addressing the stateless people and children. The Immigration Rules Part 14: Stateless Persons, specifically provide guidelines within the Immigration Law regarding stateless people in the United Kingdom. In addition, the Rule 14 Immigration Registration as a British Overseas Territories citizen (BOTC) by people who would otherwise be stateless, version 1.0 (2017), and the Asylum Policy Instruction Statelessness and Applications for Leave to Remain, version 2.0 (2016) are policies and guidance to address issues of stateless people and children. As for Georgia, the state enacted a specific law and policy on stateless people known as the Law of Georgia on the Legal Status of Aliens and Stateless Persons 2014. The said law serves to protect the rights of the stateless children in Georgia. The United Kingdom 22 and Georgia23 are signatory member countries to the 1954 Convention and 1961 Convention. As such the domestic laws of the said countries incorporated the provisions of the 1954 Convention and the 1961 Convention into their respective domestic laws to address the issues of statelessness within their nations. However, many states still do not have legislations and policies for the stateless population within their regions, leaving the stateless children in a precarious position. 22 23 The UK ratified the 1954 Convention on 16.4.1959.
