UNHCR Action to Address Statelessness: A Strategy Note
March 2010
http://www.unhcr.org/refworld/docid/4b9e0c3d2.html
This Strategy Note provides a framework of action to address
statelessness issues.
Effective responses to statelessness require a partnership approach. The
Note is therefore being published in the belief that it may also prove
helpful for governmental, UN and civil society partners, as well as
regional organizations.
This Note highlights the major issues to be addressed at the field level
but is not exhaustive and will be complemented by further guidance on
specific doctrinal and policy questions. One area in which additional
guidance is required is de facto statelessness. Questions relating to
how de facto statelessness is defined and addressed will therefore be
dealt with in subsequent guidance.
The present Strategy Note is focused principally on de jure
statelessness, i.e. statelessness as defined in the 1954 Convention
relating to the Status of Stateless Persons and customary international law.
