www.unhcr.org/protection/statelessness/546e01319/statistics-stateless-persons.html. Under
UNHCR’s statistical compilation on statelessness, several categories of stateless persons are not
counted as stateless. This includes those who also fall within the protection mandates of other
agencies of the United Nations (at present, only U.N. Relief and Works Agency) and those who also
come under UNHCR’s other protection mandates (such as refugees, asylum-seekers, and to some
extent, IDPs).
