On 11 May, UNHCR and the Scalabrini Centre of Cape
Town, South Africa, hosted a roundtable with persons
who are stateless or at risk of statelessness. Participants
shared their daily challenges in grappling with their lack
of citizenship and highlighted the need for a regional
approach to address statelessness in Sothern Africa. The
roundtable will help to shape UNHCR’s advocacy strategy
and activities in the region.
On 15-17 May, a Georgian delegation conducted a study
visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina under the framework of
the joint OSCE/ODIHR-UNHCR project on statelessness.
The delegates exchanged good practices on outreach,
communication and provision of free legal aid to stateless
Roma communities.
