Preview

Description: Birth registration is a key way to prevent statelessness and ensure every child can acquire a nationality. Yet, some children in Europe still face the risk of statelessness due to persisting barriers to birth registration. This briefing is the first in a thematic series developed using the Statelessness Index and examines data from 24 countries to identify good practice and barriers preventing children from having their birth registered. The briefing was drafted based on data collected before the COVID-19 outbreak, so does not reflect any very recent changes to law, policy and practice.
