The lack of ties in the form of nationality between the individual and the state poses a threat to human security, as well as to national and international security. The condition of ‘rightlessness’, the denial of human rights to which stateless persons are condemned, is a worldwide phenomenon which demands our attention. Despite the development of the international human rights protection system after World War II, no solution has been found to eliminate the problem of the lack of the ‘right to have rights’ formulated by Hannah Arendt. Statelessness remains a side issue in the debate on the migration crisis, which is a signum temporis of modern times, but this is a growing problem that must be tackled. In the near future, it will start to weigh more and more heavily on the European and international community. The current migration crisis in Europe has some specific features: the origins of asylum seekers are more diverse than in previous waves, many come from farther away than neighbouring EU countries and the situation in their homelands during the last 10 years has been unstable, without signs of any quick positive solutions in the near future. As mentioned, there is a new stateless generation growing up in Europe consisting of children of Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans who came as migrants or as refugees (and often even as children without an adult guardian or carer, which is why no one can prove their identity), and whose status is so vulnerable due, most often, to the paternal ius sanguinis, the discrimination of women in nationality law, or internal conflict.
