MAINSTREAMING STATELESSNESS: New Report shows promising increased engagement in the Universal Periodic Review

New Report shows promising increased engagement on statelessness and nationality issues in the Universal Periodic Review

A first of its kind report is being launched today in Geneva to examine how states have responded through the UN Human Rights Council to the more than 15 million people affected globally by statelessness, denied the right to a nationality and other fundamental human rights.

The report is based on extensive research and confirms the vital importance of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) to mainstream statelessness as a cross-cutting human rights issues and the only review mechanism whereby states themselves issue recommendations to other states on protecting the right to a nationality and the rights of stateless people. The report highlights key findings from the Third UPR Cycle and lessons learned for the Fourth UPR Cycle, which started on 27 February 2023.
