Global Alliance to End Statelessness
Make your mark.
Join our new Global Alliance to End Statelessness
To be stateless, is to be denied a nationality. Officially, it’s almost as if you don’t exist. Millions of people are affected around the world, with serious impacts on their ability to enjoy even the most basic rights. However, statelessness is absolutely solvable… forever, for everyone. But change simply isn’t happening fast enough.
This is why we are calling on you to join with us, a diverse group of stakeholders – a Global Alliance to End Statelessness. Together we can catalyse and accelerate change. Because everyone deserves to enjoy the right to a nationality without discrimination.
Sign up now! The official launch of the Global Alliance takes place on 14 October 2024 in Geneva at the High-Level Segment on Statelessness, on day one of UNHCR ExCom.
We need coordinated and collaborative action.
That’s why we are looking to bring together people with the energy, talent and power to make a difference. Convening stakeholders from right across the world in a spirit of openness, equality, and collaboration.
IntroductionWe need to act with bold pragmatism.
That’s why we are capacitating members with tools for focused and effective collaboration. So we can unite as a collective – listening to and learning from one another, exchanging ideas, and joining the dots in exciting and innovative new ways.
Knowledge HubWe need to consign Statelessness to history.
We will not rest until this happens. Acting together to identify and respond to the gaps in laws, policies and practice that are creating new cases of statelessness and letting existing situations linger

The Global Alliance: Stronger Together
Addressing statelessness effectively requires a multi-stakeholder approach. We must combine different expertise, ideas, resources, and experiences to tackle the diverse issues that underpin statelessness.
The Global Alliance centers stateless-led organizations and persons with lived experience of statelessness, which is commendable because it ensures accountability to and meaningful participation by those affected by statelessness. Acknowledging their lived experience and expertise in seeking durable solutions to the problem. Further, we think the Solution Seeker program is a game-changer, as it ensures that states commit to taking concrete measures to address statelessness within their territories and beyond.
We need to come together in this new Global Alliance to end statelessness. Together, we are stronger than the sum of our parts and our collective action is critical in accelerating effective solutions to wipe out statelessness.

Why the Global Alliance and why hope?
There is a strength in unity, and it is even more powerful when that unity is diverse.
The Global Alliance unites us under a vision for a statelessness free world. And it gives us the opportunity to collectively hold power to put towards a lasting impact and legacy for future generations. This is how we address statelessness from ever happening in this world, by working together.
