Country Position Paper: Statelessness in Syria This document provides information on the profiles of stateless individuals and persons who may be at risk of statelessness due to nationality or civil documentation problems in Syria. It should not be taken to be comprehensive, and there may be other situations in which statelessness arises in the country, or other specificities that differ from the information given here. The analysis presented here is based on a desk review of relevant sources, conducted between January and August 2019. The research was informed by and draws from the previous work of the Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion in collaborating with partners (academics, community members and human right activists) to monitor developments relating to statelessness in Syria. A full bibliography of the resources used can be found at the end of this document. 2
