These Guidelines are aimed at assisting States to ensure that stateless persons receive such status in their jurisdictions. They address the treatment of persons determined to be stateless by a State under the 1954 Convention, the position of individuals awaiting the outcome of a statelessness determination procedure, as well as the appropriate treatment of stateless persons in States that do not have statelessness determination procedures.
