Dear Community,Before meeting Christiana and joining the Statefree team, I conducted research on statelessness in Germany. It was an eye-opening experience and made clear how many barriers to fundamental rights exist and how much structural change is still needed. I am happy to share that the results of my research were published in a peer-reviewed journal, which you can find here: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13621025.2022.2103972The paper argues that de facto statelessness is produced and reproduced by the German citizenship regime, restrictive naturalization requirements and inadequate administrative practices. It makes clear why a fair and transparent statelessness determination procedure is both necessary and urgent. I hope the paper can contribute to a critical debate about necessary legal and political changes. Feedback and comments are very welcome!

It collects facts and figures about exclusion and displacement, and covers different topics such as rights, conventions and the history of statelessness. Reflecting the title of the publication, it zooms into different regions of the world and addresses the multiple reasons for statelessness and the particular struggles stateless people face in different countries. The publication also includes a section on the impact of Covid-19 on stateless people, and points out how climate change creates new risks for statelessness. In the section ‘Famous but Stateless’ we learn about famous stateless individuals, reminding us of the
