“Statelessness can lead to a devastating cycle of deprivation and vulnerability. In the five years since the launch of the #IBelong Campaign, we have witnessed remarkable progress on many fronts, including new accessions to the UN Statelessness Conventions. However, millions of people still suffer the lifelong denial of their human rights because they are stateless. And certain worrying trends, including a rise in damaging forms of nationalism, and increased forced displacement, threaten to increase statelessness in some parts of the world if action isn’t taken. Now - more than ever - we need strengthened international resolve to take the steps set out in this Global Action Plan so as to ensure that no one is stateless in 2024.” FILIPPO GRANDI, UNITED NATIONS HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR REFUGEES Cover photos: Stateless and formerly stateless persons from Kenya and North Macedonia. © UNHCR/ ROGER ARNOLD, 2017 UNHCR > G LO B A L AC T I O N P L A N TO E N D S TAT E L E S S N E S S : 2 0 1 4 – 2 0 2 4
