Statelessness
Statelessness is the legal social concept of a lack of belonging (or a lawfully enforceable claim) to any recognised state.
The convention relating to the status of stateless persons was signed in September 1954 .
It was complemented by the “statelessness reduction convention ” seven years later .
The 1954 status convention provided for the UNHCR to issue travel documents to stateless persons.
The 1961 stateless reduction convention was a significant aspiration achievement in working to eleminate the problem of statelessness, or at least the problems associated with it.
