Besides a summary of the proceedings and the keynote address delivered by the Assistant High Commissioner for Refugees – Protection, the publication features international best practices in the form of the International Law Commission’s 1999 Draft Articles on Nationality of Natural Persons in relation to the Succession of States. The Draft Articles reflect the consensus on the current status of customary law on nationality in relation to state succession, and offer a coherent and thought-out collection of straightforward and objective provisions for consideration.”
