The Global Caselaw Database on Statelessness was established to strengthen access to jurisprudence on nationality, statelessness, and related human rights issues. It provides a practical resource for lawyers, academics, advocates, and decision-makers, complementing UNHCR and the Open Society Justice Initiative’s ‘Litigating the Right to Nationality: A Guide for Practitioners’ by bringing together decisions from courts and tribunals across different jurisdictions.

The database covers judgments that address statelessness directly, such as where the applicant is stateless or at risk of statelessness.

The Global Caselaw Database on Statelessness is an evolving tool and new cases will be added incrementally.
