Article 15 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states, “Everyone has the right to a nationality”i and “No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality”ii. That means as per article 1 of the convention relating to the stateless person, ‘“stateless person ’’means a person who is not considered as a national by any State under the operation of its law.” Additionally, Individuals can become stateless either by law (de jure) or by circumstance (de facto).iii Therefore, the problem of statelessness or the problem of living with no legal background or citizenship is critical today. Millions of people worldwide are in search of basic necessities, including their right to life which they are deprived of due to insufficient legal background.iv When it comes to human rights, being human is the sole requirement in order to obtain human rights irrespective of nationality, language, race, gender and the notion that all human beings have rights by virtue of their common humanity should be a recent development.v Therefore, this paper demonstrates how international protection is still a problem for the rights of stateless individuals.
