SOLVING STATELESSNESS these areas in order to understand the extent to which law is followed in practice. Ultimately, while resolving the legal status of those who have no access to citizenship is clearly significant, it is also important to remember that many of the problems that these three cases point to are longstanding and highly complex. They are often inextricably linked to broader root causes of violence, conflict and the mismanagement of State power by those in positions of authority. Therefore, while there is a need to focus on the relatively tightly defined legal notion of “ending statelessness” as put forward in UNHCR’s Global Action Plan, there also needs to be enhanced engagement by the international community with root causes of conflict, including broader issues of governance and the use of State power. The Campaign to End Statelessness, therefore, has the potential to facilitate and support a broader discussion around belonging for all those who do not have a State to belong to. 97
