Law or policy reform enabling automatic acquisition of nationality of Sri Lanka and UNDP’s Access to Justice Project that aims to provide nationality and other civil-registration documents through mobile clinics. Efforts by UNHCR to map other statelessness issues in Sri Lanka and the Sri Lankan Government’s greater awareness of statelessness led to the passing of two new laws granting Sri Lankan nationality to two additional stateless groups. First, the Grant of Citizenship to Persons of Chinese Origin (Special Provisions) Act, No. 38 of 20087 provided for automatic acquisition of Sri Lankan nationality by individuals of Chinese origin who had been permanent residents of Sri Lanka since 1948 and their descendants. Second, the Grant of Citizenship to Stateless Persons (Special Provisions) (Amendment) Act, No. 5 of 20098 amended the 1988 Act to allow stateless persons of Indian origin who fled Sri Lanka and have lived in refugee camps in India since the 1980s, but who would otherwise have qualified for Sri Lankan nationality, to acquire it. 7 8 14 Grant of Citizenship to Persons of Chinese Origin (Special Provisions) Act, No. 38 of 2008 [Sri Lanka], No. 38 of 2008, 31 October 2008, available at: http://www.unhcr.org/refworld/docid/4c5170452.html Grant of Citizenship to Stateless Persons (Special Provisions) (Amendment) Act, No.5 of 2009 [Sri Lanka], No.5 of 2009, 29 July 2010, available at: http://www.unhcr.org/refworld/docid/4c515bfe2.html U N H C R > G P P A C T I O N 1 : R E S O LV I N G E X I S T I N G M A J O R S I T U AT I O N S O F S TAT E L E S S N E S S
