The meeting was organized by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and addressed both the interpretation of the definition of a\u00a0<em>de jure<\/em>\u00a0stateless person under Article 1(1) of the 1954\u00a0<em>Convention Relating to the Status of Stateless Persons<\/em>, and more generally the definition of a\u00a0<em>de facto<\/em>\u00a0stateless person. The summary conclusions of the meeting are available from the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.unhcr.org\/cgi-bin\/texis\/vtx\/home\/opendocPDFViewer.html?docid=4cb2fe326&amp;query=prato\">UNHCR website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>De Jure Statelessness in the Real World: Applying the Prato Summary Conclusions<\/em>\u00a0aims to show how the Prato Summary Conclusions apply to stateless persons around the world. The paper demonstrates that most stateless populations that the Justice Initiative works with have links with only one state\u2014the state where they were born and physically reside.<\/p>\n<p>In accordance with the Prato Summary Conclusions, the Justice Initiative considers these populations to be\u00a0<em>de jure<\/em>\u00a0stateless on the basis that the states in question do not consider these resident populations as their nationals. In fact, a majority of the world\u2019s stateless people likely fall into this category, as illustrated by the numerous examples set forth in the paper.<\/p>\n<p>Download paper from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensocietyfoundations.org\/reports\/de-jure-statelessness-real-world-applying-prato-summary-conclusions\">Open Society Foundations website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"by\u00a0Laura Bingham,\u00a0Julia Harrington Reddy\u00a0&amp;\u00a0Sebastian Kohn\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Open Society Justice Initiative This Open Society Justice Initiative paper examines the definition of a stateless person under international law and the implications this definition has for victims of statelessness around the world.
