Recommendations 20. Drawing on the information provided in this submission, we urge member states to make the following recommendations to the Republic of Burundi: I. Amend the 2000 Nationality Code to bring it into full compliance with Burundi’s 2005 Constitution and relevant provisions of CEDAW and the CRC, by ensuring that all female citizens can pass their nationality to their children and spouses on an equal basis with male citizens. II. Take steps to ensure that all children and adults who have been denied access to Burundian citizenship due to gender discriminatory nationality laws, are granted nationality and in the interim, that they fully enjoy their other human rights on a non-discriminatory and equal basis. III. Accede to the Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons and the Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness to ensure the development of legislation and regulations which ensure every child’s right to a nationality and that no child is born stateless.
