Description: The steady march towards the liberation of Iraq from the control of Islamic State (ISIS) is raising concerns for the children born of sexual slavery and forced marriages. How can we guarantee access to nationality for the children of women abducted by ISIS? What role might gender discrimination play in denying these children the right to nationality and how can it be addressed? This paper argues that the rule of law provides a conceptual framework to help rationalise and strengthen approaches towards addressing statelessness, particularly in cases involving discrimination in nationality provisions.
