It is recommended that any change in law must be accompanied by corresponding measures to implement the law in the form of the development of necessary regulations and directives, along with awareness-raising, publicity, training and capacity building for relevant stakeholders such as judges, local leaders and civil society. As such, the updating of legislation is most effective when accompanied by meaningful action to ensure its full implementation. It is equally recommended that any amendments to any nationality law are complemented by efforts to implement the other recommendations contained in the Arab Declaration on Belonging and Legal Identity, which are seen as mutually reinforcing. These actions together are intended to safeguard the right of everyone to belong, to enjoy rights to family life and unity, and to have a name and legal identity, building on longstanding traditions in the Arab region, as well as core principles in Islam. This will ultimately promote social and economic inclusion and provide the foundations for more sustainable development. 52
