light of the Damache judgment and other factors, the co-submitting organisations are of the view that the Irish Government should review the wider nationality deprivation framework, which is both discriminatory and lacks adequate safeguards to prevent statelessness. Recommendations 47. Based on the above information, the co-submitting organisations urge reviewing States to make the following recommendations to Ireland: I. II. III. IV. V. VI. VII. VIII. IX. X. XI. Fully promote, respect, protect and fulfil its obligations towards stateless persons and to prevent and reduce statelessness under international human rights law. Fully incorporate into national law and implement the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the 1954 Convention Relating to the Status of Stateless Persons and the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness. In particular, fully implement Article 7 of the CRC, Article 1(1) of the 1961 Convention and the provisions of the 1954 Convention in relation to: i. juridical status ii. gainful employment iii. welfare and administrative assistance iv. provisions concerning naturalisation v. protection from expulsion. Collect and make publicly available, reliable data on statelessness in Ireland including disaggregated data on stateless children. Introduce a dedicated statelessness determination procedure and protection status that complies with international standards of due process and which follows the guidance of UNHCR and good practice. Grant a renewable residence permission to people determined to be stateless valid for at least two years, accompanied by a travel document, the right to work, family reunification, access to healthcare and social assistance, and a route to permanent residence and facilitated naturalisation. Incorporate into law the 1954 Convention and customary international law definition of a stateless persons. Protect every child’s right to acquire a nationality by amending the safeguard to ensure all otherwise stateless children born in Ireland acquire Irish nationality (by operation of the law), and adopting specific guidance on the implementation of the safeguard in practice. Protect the right to a nationality and ensure Ireland meets its international obligations by introducing safeguards preventing the revocation of naturalisation certificates, especially where this would give rise to statelessness or would result in discriminatory or arbitrary revocation of nationality or would amount to derivative loss of nationality. Withdraw Ireland’s reservations to the 1954 and 1961 Statelessness Conventions. Accede to the 1997 European Convention on Nationality. Provide and measure the impact of regular training on statelessness and nationality rights, and the protection of human rights of stateless persons to State authorities. 13
