In light of the above comments, the Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion would like to take this opportunity to request the Committee to seek further information and clarification from Iran on the following: a. What steps is Iran taking to bring its nationality law into compliance with its obligations under Articles 7, 2 and 3 CRC? In particular, what concrete steps has Iran taken to end gender discrimination in its nationality law and to ensure that all children born in Iran who would otherwise be stateless, acquire Iranian nationality without undue delay? b. What prospects are there for further law reform within Iran and for implementing the existing law without discrimination and to the fullest extent possible, in compliance with the principle of the best interests of the child? c. Is there any data on stateless children or children born to Iranian mothers and foreign fathers that Iran can share with the Committee? If not, why is this the case, and what steps can be taken to rectify this situation?
