highlighting the often hidden statelessness impacts of migration governance. This includes for example, ensuring that statelessness is considered in the creation of Working Groups and that stateless persons and their advocates are sought out and consulted from the outset. 2. Working with global civil society to address statelessness It will be important for stateless persons and their advocates to reach out to those civil society actors that have been involved in the global compact process to support their efforts. This will include ensuring that those civil society actors that are best-placed to intervene in the implementation process are supported in identifying the relevance of statelessness to their work, and its nexus with gender equality, children's rights, labour rights, access to education, and minority rights, for example.x 3. Reasserting existing State obligations under international law It is crucial that those with expertise relating to statelessness on a State, regional and global level articulate and publicise their specific concerns about the final draft of the GCM, including that some of its provisions fall below pre-existing standards to which states are bound under international law. This must include feeding into the official implementation and monitoring processes once the structure for this is announced, as well as reporting and monitoring outside the official process where this process falls short. 5 of 10
