Litigation Toolkit on Statelessness: Volume II October 2022 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This toolkit is published and authored by the European Network on Statelessness (ENS), a civil society alliance of over 170 organisations and individual experts in 41 countries committed to addressing statelessness in Europe. Everyone has the right to a nationality. ENS believes this must be respected and that the human rights of people who lack a nationality – stateless people – must be protected. ENS is dedicated to working with stateless people in Europe to advocate for their rights and aims to reach its goals through law and policy development, awareness-raising, and capacity-building. ENS is very grateful to all who gave their time and expertise to reviewing and commenting on drafts of this toolkit, in particular Caia Vlieks, Gábor Gyulai, Hana Franková, Ignacio Hernández, Katarzyna Przybysławska, Melis Gebeş, Milana Kreća, Valeria Ilareva and Valérie Klein. We also wish to acknowledge the contribution of ENS members and other lawyers who have provided case summaries to the Statelessness Case Law Database, and/or who support our impact litigation efforts across Europe. In particular, we wish to acknowledge the ongoing contribution of the AIRE Centre as a key impact litigation partner. The publication of this toolkit was supported in part by a grant from the Open Society Foundations. ENS would also like to acknowledge the financial support and time contributions through our pro-bono partnerships with a number of law firms, including Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, DAC Beachcroft, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, Hogan Lovells and DLA Piper which is essential to the development and continuous improvement of the Statelessness Case Law Database. The development of the database has also been made possible through allocation of funding from various other donors, including the Open Society Justice Initiative, Oak Foundation, Sigrid Rausing Trust, Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung and the UN Refugee Agency, for which we are sincerely grateful. The Statelessness Case Law Database is a free online resource containing national and regional case law covering Europe, as well as international jurisprudence addressing statelessness. The database covers jurisprudence from any jurisdiction in Europe, the European Court of Human Rights, the Court of Justice of the European Union and UN human rights treaty bodies. It is managed by the European Network on Statelessness (ENS) with contributions and support from ENS members and partners. 13
