B. T HE STAT E’ S DUT Y TO PR EV E N T AND RE DUC E STAT E LE SSNE SS B.3 C ONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS Any action undertaken by the state which deliberately or inadvertently renders its nationals stateless is a violation of their rights assured by emerging customary international law and municipal law. Hence, there is a core negative obligation on India to not render people stateless. This obligation has been clarified in the domestic context by several Indian judicial decisions as well. Recommendations in this regard, include: .. .. .. .. India should accede to the 1954 and the 1961 Statelessness Conventions. India should adopt a national legislation consistent with international law on statelessness. Modules on international law and India’s obligations should be incorporated into judicial education and training programs for judges and FT members. Keeping the scale of disenfranchisement and the lack of supranational policy in mind, civil society organizations must further highlight the consequences of people being deprived of citizenship in legal and policy terms when discussing the impact of the NRC and similar exercises in India. chapter i • status 73 SECTION I.B.2
