Research Projects

This research project examines the extent to which the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees protects de jure stateless persons.

The Centre embarked on this research project as a response to the lack of information on the citizenship or statelessness status of nomadic groups globally and the challenges these groups face in this regard.

The Centre is investigating the interconnections between minorities’ legal status, discrimination and social inclusion.

The Asia-Pacific region hosts one of the largest number of the known stateless people in the world. Given its location in Australia, the Centre has made the region a priority for its research efforts.

Measures depriving citizens of nationality on security grounds are being used with increasing frequency across developed countries.
