UNHCR provides specialized legal counselling to stateless persons on the available legal remedies to claim their right to Lebanese nationality under the existing legal framework, including legal representation in court and administrative authorities.
In addition, UNHCR supports both stateless persons and persons at risk of statelessness to have access to civil documentation and identity documents.
For stateless persons, UNHCR developed an informal basic education program and a community-based program to better understand the protection issues and priorities of stateless persons to address some of these issues.
1. Who is a stateless person?⬇️
A stateless person is someone who does not have a nationality of any country. Some are born stateless, but others become stateless. UNHCR is the UN agency mandated to work on statelessness.
