Progress and challenges relating to the human rights of IDPs 2016, para. 79
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Vulnerability to displacement may be heightened by discriminatory State policies or practices. Non-documentation, the denial or deprivation of citizenship for some ethnic or religious groups, for example, renders them stateless. Their rights as citizens are not fully recognized and they may be targeted, or not adequately protected, by national authorities. As highlighted in the Norwegian Refugee Council scoping paper on statelessness and displacement, stateless persons are uniquely vulnerable including to internal displacement. Statelessness must be more clearly understood in the context of State policies of denial of legal status that impacts on particular marginalized communities.
