Description: This briefing note emphasises the child’s right to identity as a standalone human right under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), covering birth registration, name, nationality, and family relations. It highlights the critical role of legal identity in accessing basic rights and the risks faced by children lacking identity, including statelessness and discrimination. The note calls for strengthened civil registration systems, legal reforms, and international cooperation to ensure every child’s right to a recognised identity.
