News: New Statelessness Resource

Introducing StatelessHub, the Institute on Statelessness & Inclusion's newly-launched information and research platform! 

Upon entering the website, visitors can begin exploring the issue of statelessness and the right to nationality both thematically, via a series of 10 topics, and geographically. Each thematic page introduces a concept relevant to statelessness (e.g., refugees & migrants, nationality deprivation, etc.), provides links to further reading, and then directs readers to the library feature of the hub to access additional resources. Geographic pages are available for all regions as well as 18 countries.

The library houses "over 1000 resources on statelessness and the right to nationality. Each resource is tagged by geography, author, and topic, making it easier than ever to find new information on your area of interest."

More information on this resource is provided in ISI's launch announcement.
