Statelessness and the Benefits of Citizenship: a Comparative Study

About this book

The study is the result of a project commissioned by the Geneva Academy for International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights to mark the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The study relies on over 60 interviews to explore the impact that changes in nationality laws have had on formerly stateless people in the Gulf states, Kenya, Slovenia, Sri Lanka, and Ukraine. It also contains a legal analysis on the state of human rights protections by Laura Van Waas and a set of photographs by award-winning photojournalist Greg Constantine.
