Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness

The Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness is an international agreement that aims to prevent people from being without a nationality—called statelessness. It encourages countries to create laws so that everyone has a nationality and avoids situations where individuals lose or are denied it. The treaty also sets rules to ensure that nationality is granted fairly, especially to children born in a country or to parents with different nationalities. Overall, it promotes legal clarity and protection so that fewer people live without a nationality, helping them access rights and services.
