What We Do
Nationality is a fundamental human right and a foundation of identity,
dignity, justice, peace, and personal security. But statelessness (the
lack of effective nationality) affects millions of people worldwide.
|
Military and police intervention – including international peacekeeping
efforts and “coalitions of the willing” – are often critical to
stabilizing a crisis, protecting displaced people, and securing
humanitarian efforts.
|
After RI called for more aid to Iraqis in squatter settlements, the US and UNHCR increased resources to improve living conditions.
