need to consider regional treaties. Europe,55 the Americas56 and Africa57 have concluded treaties that provide a right to nationality and, again, many of these focus on children.58 Turing to domestic legislation as practice, again we see a wide degree of concordant practice. Approximately half of the states in the world practice jus soli, and solve statelessness by granting nationality to all children born in their territories, albeit under certain conditions. 59 Some of these conditions include residency of the parents, 60 a period of residence after birth, 61 or an administrative process. 62 Other states require that the parents also be stateless. 63 Notwithstanding these burdens, the fundamental principle is affirmed in broadly concordant practice: that states will solve child statelessness by granting their nationality. However, an even larger number of states that do not practice jus soli normally, but will make an exception expressly for cases of statelessness.64 Combining the states that will practice jus soli, under conditions, with the states that will also practice jus soli for stateless children, we find a significant number of states around the world that adhere to the principle that a stateless child should have his or her status resolved by receiving the nationality of the birth state. At this point, it suffices to observe that this concordant practice creates a promotion that granting nationality to children is required under customary international law. In addition to this concordant practice, the prohibition of statelessness and its solutions also qualify for this presumption in favor of customary international law because it has been consistently viewed as a matter of concern for the international community,65 as expressed in UNGA resolutions. 54 See CRPD, at art. 18(2); ICCPR, supra note 41 at art. 24(3); Migrant Workers Convention, supra at art. 29; International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, art. 25(4); UNGA Res. 50/152, supra note 66; HRC Res. 26/14, supra note 76; HRC Res. 20/5, supra note 76; HRC Res. 13/2, supra note 76; HRC Res. 10/13, supra note 76; HRC Res. 7/10, supra note 76; HRC & UNSG, Human rights and arbitrary deprivation of nationality (Dec. 19, 2012), supra note 43; Comm.
