New Report on Statelessness Among Children in Europe Published

Published 24.09.2015.

No child should be statelessThe European Network for Statelessness (ENS) published its new report “No Child Should be Stateless” as part of an ongoing campaign to eliminate statelessness among children in Europe.

The report represents a synthesis of research implemented by ENS members in eight European countries, as well as an analysis of national legislation in all 47 Council of Europe member states. The report explains why several thousand children still grow up without citizenship due to voids in the national laws or obstacles in the registration of the fact of birth. The report also shows that even among countries that are signatories of international conventions, over half do not adequately meet their obligations to provide for children gaining citizenship. The research also indicates new cases of statelessness among children, including risks faced by children of refugees and migrants, i.e. children born by way of surrogate mothers, adopted children or children from same sex marriages.

No child chose to be stateless, and for those that are it means growing up without access to rights and services, denied opportunities, unfulfilled potential and a feeling of never truly belonging anywhere. It brings difficulties and agony for the children and their parents. However, this is a problem that could be completely solved, so the report ends with a number of recommendations designed for the more efficient fight against – and final elimination – of statelessness among children in Europe.
