Abstract
This chapter examines the effect of statelessness on children and their status under international human rights law, and discusses the undermining of stateless children’s human rights by the states to the point of shirking the responsibility of protecting their basic rights. International law on non-discrimination and the right of children to nationality as explained through the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD) is presented. Illustrations of state actions affecting stateless children in Europe, Africa, and Asia are discussed. Case studies and interviews illustrating abuses resulting from loss of the right to nationality, including arbitrary expulsion and child exploitation in war, are also given.
