On Monday 14 October ENS will be in Geneva to attend the launch of the Global Alliance to End Statelessness during a High-Level Segment on Statelessness (HLS) taking place as part of UNHCR’s ExCom meeting.

About the Global Alliance to End Statelessness
The Global Alliance to End Statelessness is a collaborative multistakeholder platform led by UNHCR whose mission is to create “a world free from statelessness where everyone enjoys the right to a nationality without discrimination.”
ENS is a member of the Global Alliance, has sat on the taskforce set up to support its development, and has been selected to serve on its inaugural Advisory Committee. We are delighted to join a Committee of 15 diverse members operating nationally, regionally or globally – including several organisations led by stateless communities alongside UNHCR, UNICEF, OHCHR, OSCE, the League of Arab States, and the US and Philippines governments.
We look forward to engaging with the Global Alliance to help secure much-needed law and policy reform to protect the rights of stateless people and ensure everyone in Europe is able to enjoy their right to a nationality as outlined in this briefing.
Regional Network Lab
As a first step, immediately following the HLS, ENS along with UNHCR are jointly organising and co-facilitating a Regional Network Lab on 15 and 16 October.
Regional Network Labs are intended to support dynamic and interlinked networks of regional actors that can support the design and implementation of context-sensitive solutions to statelessness through the Global Alliance.
Over two days, ENS and sister regional networks will present on different aspects of their development and work, followed by facilitated group discussions, and open spaces for trans-regional reflection, learning, and exchange between civil society, UNHCR, and community actors.
