All people, adults and children alike, have the right to a nationality.1 Moreover, nationality is an essential component of contemporary life.2 But statelessness, or the lack of effective nationality, impacts the daily lives of some 11-12 million people around the world.3 Perhaps those who suffer most are stateless infants, children, and youth.
