DESK REVIEW ON POPULATIONS AT RISK OF STATELESSNESS Conclusion This Desk Review has been produced in support of the Government of the Philippines Action Point 7 of the National Action Plan to End Statelessness by 2024, which seeks to continue the study of statelessness in order to improve qualitative and quantitative data on populations at risk of statelessness in the Philippines and among its nationals, and in support of the government’s efforts around statelessness initiated with pledges in 2011.247 There are persons at risk of statelessness both in the Philippines and in a migratory setting overseas. The Philippines’ act of acceding to and implementing the 1961 Statelessness Convention will strengthen the protection the Philippines makes available to its constituents, including those at risk of statelessness in migratory settings. Better knowledge of populations at risk of statelessness can help to resolve existing situations of statelessness or among populations at risk of statelessness, and to prevent new cases from emerging, in support of the Government’s strategy to end statelessness in the Philippines and among persons of Philippine descent in migratory settings. 247 UNHCR / April 2021 Philippines’ National Action Plan to End Statelessness by 2024 (NAP). 85
