A REGIONAL TOOLKIT FOR PRACTITIONERS 1 41 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This toolkit is published by the European Network on Statelessness (ENS), a civil society alliance with 103 members in 39 countries, committed to addressing statelessness in Europe. The toolkit is intended to complement a series of country research studies produced as part of a three year ENS project “Protecting Stateless Persons from Arbitrary Detention”. The project has benefited from an Advisory Group comprising Mariette Grange (Global Detention Project), Katarina Fajnorova (Human Rights League Slovakia), Jem Stevens and Ben Lewis (International Detention Coalition) and Chris Nash (European Network on Statelessness). This toolkit has been researched and written by Amal de Chickera and Maria Jose Recalde Vela of the Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion which is a member of the ENS Advisory Committee and an expert partner for this project. ENS is grateful to the Oak Foundation for its generous support which made this publication possible. ENS also wishes to acknowledge the Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion as an expert partner for the ENS project “Protecting Stateless Persons from Arbitrary Detention”. ENS is most grateful to all who lent their expertise and reviewed draft versions of this toolkit. In addition to members of the project’s Advisory Group, these included Inge Sturkenboom, Marie Huberlant and Ariel Riva of UNHCR, Adam Weiss of the European Roma Rights Centre and Ileen Verbeek of the Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion. Special thanks and acknowledgement are also owed to Greg Constantine for the use of the images contained in this publication.
