V. Further to its accession to the 1954 Convention, in line with UNHCR guidance and further to a public committment in Malta’s Parliament, establish a statelessness determination procedure and protection status in law, under the authority of the International Protection Agency, which includes the automatic right to reside, work, study, and facilitated naturalisation. VI. Take further steps to protect stateless persons from arbitrary detention by establishing a referral mechanism to a statelessness determination procedure, including statelessness as a vulnerability factor within vulnerability assessments, considering statelessness as a juridically relevant fact in all decisions to detain, and refraining from detaining migrants in respect of whom a returnable country of origin has not, or cannot, be established. VII. Amend the law to ensure that all children born on Malta’s territory who would otherwise be stateless acquire a nationality as soon as possible after birth, and remove any discriminatory limitations in the acquisition of nationality based on the parents’ marital status or other status. 10
