4.4 Ambitions of the campaign and GAP 47. From its launch in November 2014, the Campaign was branded with the #IBelong hashtag that has become synonymous with the Campaign since. The Campaign priorities are set out in the GAP, set up to last from 2014 - 2024, with the objectives of resolving existing major situations of statelessness; preventing new cases of statelessness; and better identifying and protecting stateless populations. Progress in preventing and addressing statelessness is contingent on the goodwill of States, as it is their responsibility and only States can take the necessary steps to prevent statelessness and provide nationality. 48. The main focus of the GAP is on non-refugee stateless populations, although GAP Action 6 directly relates to stateless persons in migratory situations and other actions also relate to refugee populations, and the GAP seeks to complement UNHCR’s efforts to resolve protracted refugee situations. 46 The GAP includes ten actions for States to take to achieve these objectives, which serve as a guiding framework for planning, implementing and reporting on collective progress (see table 3). Table 3 – Key actions and targets of the Global Action Plan to End Statelessness Action Target by 2024 Action 1: Resolve existing major situations of statelessness. ▪ All major non-refugee statelessness situations resolved. Action 2: Ensure that no child is born stateless. ▪ No reported cases of childhood statelessness. ▪ All States have a provision in their nationality laws to grant nationality to stateless children born in their territory. ▪ All States have a provision in their nationality laws to grant nationality to children of unknown origin found in their territory (foundlings). ▪ All States have a safeguard in their nationality laws to grant nationality to children born to nationals abroad and who are unable to acquire another nationality. Action 3: Remove gender discrimination from nationality laws. ▪ All States have nationality laws which treat women and men equally with regard to conferral of nationality to their children and with regard to the acquisition, change and retention of nationality. Action 4: Prevent denial, loss or deprivation of nationality on discriminatory grounds. ▪ No States have nationality laws which permit denial, loss or deprivation of nationality on discriminatory grounds. Action 5: Prevent statelessness in cases of State succession. ▪ No cases of statelessness due to future situations of State succession. Action 6: Grant protection status to stateless migrants and facilitate their naturalization. ▪ 70 States identify stateless migrants through determination procedures which lead to a legal status that permits residence and guarantees the enjoyment of basic human rights and facilitate naturalization for stateless migrants. Action 7: Ensure birth registration for the prevention of statelessness. (related to SDG 16.9) ▪ No reported cases of statelessness due to a lack of birth registration. Action 8: Issue nationality documentation to those with entitlement to it. ▪ No States have populations which are entitled to nationality under law, but which cannot acquire documentary proof of nationality. Action 9: Accede to the UN Statelessness Conventions. ▪ 140 States are party to the 1954 Convention. ▪ 130 States are party to the 1961 Convention. Action 10: Improve quantitative and qualitative data on stateless populations. ▪ Quantitative data on stateless populations is publicly available for 150 States. ▪ Qualitative analysis on stateless populations is publicly available for at least 120 States. 49. The GAP outlines a range of potential ways UNHCR can contribute to its targets in support of State action. These consist of activities including public advocacy (marketing, communications, events, public engagement); policy advocacy with government and inter-governmental actors; high-level diplomacy and ensuring statelessness is well positioned in international policy fora; training and awareness building with partners and government actors on the drivers and dimensions of statelessness; technical support for the reform of nationality laws and procedures and vital statistics and civil registration systems; capacity 46 UNHCR (2014) Global Action Plan to End Statelessness for 2014 – 2024.
