Description: In Asia and the Pacific, Malaysia is listed as one of the countries which have large populations of stateless persons (over 10,000). In taking stock of Malaysia’s performance to date in relation to UNHCR’s goal of ending statelessness in 2024, in particular through Action 1 (Resolving Major Situations of Statelessness); Action 2 (Ensure that No Child is Born Stateless); and Action 10 (Improve Quantitative and Qualitative Data on Stateless Persons), this paper looks at some of the recent progress made and opportunities on the horizon for actions to address statelessness within its borders. Alongside this, it highlights the remaining intractable hurdles and other emerging challenges, calling in the end for all stakeholders to tap into different ways of engagement, advocacy and strategies in overcoming them.
