The General Assembly,

Emphasizing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, specifically on Article 15 of that

states that everyone has the right to nationality,

Guided by what Article 1 of the 1954 Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons
establishes the definition of a stateless as someone who is not considered as a national by any
State under the operation of its law,

Noting with regret that 27 countries still have discriminatory laws in their constitutions,

Considering the difficultness of registering all stateless individuals,

Determined in the creation of the citizens of the world passport,

Affirming the need to offer education to all stateless children,

Declaring that the sovereignty of the state will not be compromised,

them in their territories,
