Upcoming Events

On 2 September 2026, 10:00-11:30 CEST, the Global Alliance to End Statelessness will host a virtual event to mark the 65th anniversary of the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness, the principal international treaty dedicated to preventing statelessness and ensuring every person’s right to a nationality. Held under the theme “Preventing and Resolving Statelessness in Practice”, the event will bring together representatives of governments, regional organizations, UN agencies, civil society, academia, stateless-led organizations and other partners to reflect on progress made in preventing and reducing statelessness, and to discuss opportunities to strengthen implementation of safeguards against statelessness worldwide

We are pleased to announce the upcoming 2nd quarterly meetings of the three Global Alliance Thematic Working Groups (TWGs), which will take place virtually via Zoom on 27 May, 3 and 9 June 2026. These sessions provide an opportunity for Alliance members to exchange expertise, discuss ongoing initiatives, and contribute to collaborative efforts under the 2026 TWG workplans.

All three meetings will be open to all members of the Global Alliance to End Statelessness.

An upcoming side event at the 2026 International Migration Review Forum (IMRF) will focus on Legal Identity in Migration: Operational Realities of Return, Readmission and Reintegration, and Statelessness Considerations. The event co-organized by UNHCR and the International Organization for Migration (IOM), will take place on Wednesday, 29 April, from 10:00–11:30 EDT / 16:00–17:30 CEST .
