Statelessness: Living in Limbo
April 28, 2009 Benjamin Johnston Statelessness
The latest edition of Oxford University's "Forced Migration Review" features more than 20 articles on statelessness. These articles draw attention not only to this neglected issue but also provide constructive solutions towards finding an end to the ubiquitous struggle that affects some 12 million people from as far afield as Japan to Ecuador. Perhaps the biggest issue at hand with statelessness is a country's failure to acknowledge basic human rights to services such as health care, protection from child trafficking, and the ability to pursue legal work.
