In this respect, the states should undertake urgent measures to eliminate the statelessness and to prevent the people to lose their citizenship without being awarded with a new one. Today I want to make the following recommendations to the states: 1. Ensure that no child is born stateless and no person gives up his/her citizenship without having another one. The states should revise their legal framework in the way to exclude every gap which would cause a situation when the citizenship is not awarded to a newborn or when someone, who is in process of changing and/or giving up the existing citizenship, is withdrawn his or her citizenship. No citizenship should be retracted if a person doesn’t have another one. 2. Remove gender discrimination from nationality laws. Due to the fact that gender discrimination is so widespread in the world, there are countries which do not allow mothers to confer their nationality to their children on an equal basis as fathers. In this respect, there are children born stateless just because women don’t have the same rights as men do. Gender based discrimination should be ended from all spheres of our life. 3. Reduce discrimination towards stateless people and ensure the legal framework allow them the same rights as to people with a valid citizenship living in that country. Stateless people shouldn’t be forbidden to go to school, to see a doctor or to apply for a job. The legal framework should be amended in a way to ensure each and every person benefit of all spectrum of rights and opportunities a country could offer. Besides this, the states should take measures to reduce discrimination and stereotypes existing in the society towards stateless people. They shouldn’t be excluded or marginalized by citizens. In this respect, the states should undertake informative and educative campaigns to inform people about the notion of statelessness, what does it suppose, how to stop it and how to protect stateless people from discrimination and abuse. 4. Prevent statelessness in cases of State succession, especially in the era of so many wars, civil wars and unsolved conflicts. 5. Grant protection status to stateless migrants and facilitate their naturalization. The last few years were marked by a huge migration and population flee from conflict zones. This could create situations when people lose their citizenship without obtaining a new one. States should ensure that the status of each migrant or refugee is documented and enough measures are for person not to lose the citizenship or to be awarded with a new one. 6. Improve quantitative and qualitative data on stateless populations. States should undertake measures to ensure that the statistical data about stateless people is up to date and is disaggregated based on different criteria. This would allow states to correctly
