Introduction • Ensure that the universal principle of non-refoulement of asylum-seekers is not transgressed. • Initiate steps to facilitate the repatriation of refugee groups to their home countries under conditions that guarantees their safety. • Accede to the 1954 Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons and the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness in order to prevent population groups being rendered stateless arbitrarily. • Design and implement procedures to effectively determine statelessness, and take steps to introduce measures to protect stateless persons or those at risk of statelessness from arbitrary detention. • Recognise de facto and de jure statelessness as disproportionately a minority issue, and adopt measures to more effectively address the root causes of statelessness. • Take steps to incorporate the provisions of international agreements into domestic legislation to protect the rights of all minority groups, including refugees and the stateless. Make sure that these measures are attuned to the particular challenges facing those most marginalised. • Collect and publish disaggregated data detailing the number of all the vulnerable groups and their living conditions, while ensuring appropriate data protection. • Ensure there is no discrimination based on religion, ethnicity or otherwise against all refugee groups. Where not yet done, enact laws against discrimination and strictly implement the same, or repeal existing legislation that promotes discrimination. Civil society across South Asia is encouraged to: • Continue to build and advance dialogue and initiatives across the region to better understand and address the regional dynamics of the issues facing minorities, including migrants, refugees, and those experiencing or at risk of statelessness. • Work collectively to advocate for a South Asia regional mechanism to effectively promote and protect universally guaranteed human rights, as well as minority rights and those of migrants, refugees, and stateless populations. liii
