This report highlights the difficulties faced
by an estimated 11 million individuals worldwide who have no citizenship
or effective nationality. The report includes the following sections:
- Nationality: a fundamental human right
- No right to reside: conditions that create
statelessness
- No country to call home: the scope of
statelessness
- Whose job is it anyway? UNHCR's second
mandate
- "Citizen, third class": findings from
RI's statelessness project
- Conclusion and recommendations.
Documenting the human costs of the problem
in more than 70 countries, the report provides recommendations to the international
community on what must be done by the UN, individual states and donor governments
like the United States.
