Abstract

To possess a nationality is essential to every human existence and should not be overlooked or disregarded but treated with the utmost seriousness. This study explores the disadvantages of not having a nationality and the perilous effect of gender inequality in nationality laws, which leads to statelessness for children born out of wedlock. Many academic researchers and policy-oriented studies have investigated the condition of statelessness since its emergence, including United Nations institutions. This study comments on the weaknesses and lapses of certain major international instruments and the interpretation and application of these international instruments on nationality and statelessness. In addition to evaluating what has been done to combat statelessness, it also reflects on what needs to be done and the strict adherence to the principle of non-discrimination by nations, organizations, and individuals.
