Thematic Focus: Statelessness

News:

As of 1 January 2015, the work of the Statelessness Programme based at Tilburg University in the Netherlands will be folded into the newly established Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion.  The Institute aims to serve as an expert source of research and information; build partnerships across disciplines and stakeholders; and function as a catalyst for new ideas and approaches.  It currently hosts an Online Forum on Statelessness.
