New Index Thematic Briefing: Statelessness determination and Protection in Europe

SDP briefing

Over the last three years, the European Network on Statelessness has been working with its members to research and compile up-to-date comparative information on statelessness in 27 European countries.

Our new thematic Statelessness Index briefing uses this information to provide a snapshot of how different countries are performing on statelessness determination and the protection of stateless people.

New INDEX thematic briefing: Deprivation of nationality and the prevention of statelessness in Europe

Report cover

Most people regard their nationality as a secure legal status. However, in the recent past, deprivation of nationality has become increasingly prevalent. Nationality plays a key role in protecting an individual from arbitrary State power and securing access to rights. As such, depriving a person of their nationality weakens their ability to enjoy fundamental rights and to access the most basic services, puts them at risk of statelessness and social exclusion, and exposes them to expulsion from the territory.
