Belgian municipalities incentivised to withdraw nationality of Palestinian children

Since August 2023, the Belgian Immigration Office has exchanged correspondence with several municipalities in Belgium to withdraw the Belgian nationality of children born in Belgium to Palestinian parents who had acquired it on the basis that they were otherwise stateless (under Article 10 of the Belgian Nationality Code).

Launch of two new Statelessness INDEX countries – Georgia and Türkiye

Georgia and Türkiye

Today, we are launching new country profiles on Georgia and Türkiye. This brings the total number of StatelessnessINDEX countries to 32.

While most countries have common international obligations to protect stateless people and prevent statelessness, there is a lack of harmonised and comprehensive approaches to tackle the issue. As a result, many stateless people remain unidentified and denied the protection owed to them under international law. Equally, there is often a failure to implement relevant safeguards to break the cycle of statelessness in Europe.
