Anniversary of the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness:
65 years after landmark Convention, UNHCR calls for renewed action to prevent statelessness [text]
- "Statelessness is preventable and solvable. What is needed is political will to act. Sixty-five years after the promise of the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness, millions of people worldwide are still waiting for the most basic recognition of all: the right to a nationality. A right to belong."
The Global Alliance to End Statelessness will be hosting a virtual panel discussion on 2 September 2026 to mark the anniversary. Follow this link for more details and to register.
