Today the European Network on Statelessness (ENS) which represents over fifty civil society organisations from across Europe will hand over a petition to members of the European Parliament calling on European leaders to protect stateless persons across Europe by ratifying the UN Statelessness Convention and committing to set up a system of safeguards and a regularisation procedure.
The petition coincides with the 60th anniversary of the 1954 UN Statelessness Convention, and is part of a wider campaign bringing together a broad spectrum of actors mounting pressure on the European Union to fulfil its pledge made in 2012 that all Member States would accede to the 1954 Statelessness Convention.
