Under the radar and under-protected

The face of a typical stateless person is likely to be the face of a child. About half of stateless people around the world are children, yet significant efforts to combat childhood statelessness remain elusive. The UN Refugee Agency UNHCR and Plan International aim to change this and have launched a new advocacy brochure “Under the Radar and Under Protected”.

"Under the Radar and Under Protected" raises awareness of the dangers and the risks that stateless children face and highlights the urgent need to address the rights of stateless children. These rights, including the right of every child to acquire an identity, including a nationality, and to be registered immediately after birth, can be found in a number of international instruments – most importantly, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which has been ratified by almost all countries in the world.
