Nepal Civil Society Network of Citizenship Rights,
the Global Campaign for Equal Nationality Rights and
the Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion
Joint Submission to the Human Rights Council at the
23rd Session of the Universal Periodic Review
Nepal
The Nepal Civil Society Network of Citizenship Rights, the
Global Campaign for Equal Nationality Rights and the Institute
on Statelessness and Inclusion make this submission to the
Universal Periodic Review (UPR) in relation to Nepal.
This joint submission draws on the multiple years of research,
advocacy, awareness raising, litigation and direct support related
experience both in Nepal and internationally, of the respective
member organisations of the Network and Global Campaign, and
of the Institute. It focuses on the issue of gender discrimination
in Nepal’s citizenship law that has a detrimental impact on Nepali
women and their families – both men and women.
