Join the Advocacy: Endorse Letters Urging Stronger State Action on Statelessness

The Global Alliance Protection Thematic Working Group (TWG), co-led by UNHCR and the Peter McMullin Centre on Statelessness, is supporting advocacy and awareness raising efforts to protect the rights of stateless persons. To achieve this, we are inviting Global Alliance members to endorse two letters: one addressed to States that have not yet acceded to the 1954 Convention, and another to States that are party to the Convention but have not yet established a Statelessness Determination Procedure.

Endorsing these letters allows Alliance members to collectively encourage States to take stronger action to identify stateless persons, prevent and reduce statelessness, and protect the rights of stateless people. The full texts of both letters are provided below. Members who wish to endorse them are invited to contact us on [email protected] and [email protected] by 10 December (COB).
