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.

Why the Global Alliance and why is it important?
The Global Alliance is both a space and a communicative energy to bring forward our commitment for no statelessness anywhere in the world. The community of the Global Alliance will be a workspace that is inspiring, that shines a light on how together we can work on a common human rights problem.
If we pull together and do the work and mobilize the resources, we can arrive at the year 2030 with every single person on earth carrying a nationality and participating fully in their own societies.

Why the Global Alliance and why together?
Ultimately, statelessness is a human-made problem, which means that we as people and in our professional capacities have the power to change it. In that respect, it is different from some other existential challenges facing humanity.
Ten years ago, statelessness was almost invisible, despite the scale of the problem and the devastating impact. Millions of people worldwide were (and still are) living without a nationality. Thanks to UNHCR’s #IBelong Campaign and the efforts of civil society, statelessness is now firmly on the agenda. But we need to launch the Global Alliance now to catch and continue that momentum.

Why the Global Alliance and why now?
We cannot stop now. Today, there are millions of women and men, girls and boys around the world that are stateless. These are people that have no nationality and no access to rights.
The Global Alliance will be a unique and powerful tool. It brings together a diverse set of actors that each will bring their own added value, strengths, and opportunities. The Alliance will allow us to find common opportunities for cooperation, and to learn from, challenge and support one another in order to achieve change and secure solutions for millions of stateless people around the world.

Welcome to the Global Alliance to End Statelessness
Statelessness affects millions worldwide, often stemming from deep-rooted discrimination. Yet, unlike many of humanity’s challenges, statelessness is solvable. The solutions are within our reach and benefit everyone.
As we approach the end of the #IBelong campaign, we stand at a pivotal moment in our collective efforts towards a world free from statelessness. Anticipating the launch of the Global Alliance to End Statelessness at the High-Level Event on statelessness during the UNHCR’s Executive Committee meeting in October 2024, our vision is ambitious yet achievable: a world where everyone has the right to a nationality without discrimination.
