This conclusion of a presumption turns the tables on the customary international law study of statelessness. Now, we begin with the understanding that it is more likely than not that there is a norm of customary international law that governs child stateless. The next step in the analysis is whether there is such a lack of state practice and opinio juris that we can overcome the presumption in favor of the rule. This conclusion will be difficult to reach, and it is to this survey of state practice that future research will turn. 16 Electronic copy available at: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3091912
