Moments like this matter. Ensuring the real world consequences of legal change are fully understood is core to our work.

Proud to help bring the lived realities of stateless people before the Court.

Recent challenges to birthright citizenship in the US have the potential to erase an essential safeguard for the prevention of statelessness.

[UnitedStateless @UnitedStateless]

Statelessness was the unspoken word at the Supreme Court.

New op-ed by USL attorneys Samantha Sitterley & @betsylfisher on Barbara v. Trump.

Without birthright citizenship, children could be left without a country.

Statelessness is not just an issue abroad. Unregistered Americans experience evidentiary statelessness and lack access to rights associated with a nationality.

[UnitedStateless @UnitedStateless]

Born here. Unrecognized.
Unregistered Americans lack proof of identity & access to basic rights. This is how statelessness happens.

In Kuwait, mass citizenship revocations have become policy: Tens of thousands have been stripped of nationality under an expanding campaign to roll back decades of reform. Fatimah Muhammed and @sultaan_1 report from the ground https://t.co/o0vorrl45G

Recent citizenship revocation decrees in Kuwait leave many at risk of statelessness.

[Muwatin @MuwatinNet_EN]

Citizenship revocation decrees in Kuwait continue, often leaving those affected stateless.

Nationality serves as a prerequisite for the enjoyment of other essential rights, such as education, health, family, political participation, and freedom of movement.

"الحق في الجنسية هو الحق في امتلاك الحقوق. في سوريا، الهوية ليست مجرد وثيقة، بل مفتاح للتعليم والصحة والعمل والمشاركة. معاً نعمل لضمان ألا يبقى أي إنسان غير مرئي قانونياً."

Hi, I’m an IHRC clinical student currently working on issues related to statelessness, and I will be taking over the IHRC Twitter for the remainder of this week. I am excited to share tweets about developments related to statelessness globally with you.

The IHRC's projects involve diverse populations and parts of the world—from the Middle East and North Africa to Tibet and Central America. One of our most recent projects was an amicus curiae brief submitted to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights: https://t.co/hcDVs78ugb

[BU Intl Human Rights (buslihrc.bsky.social) @BUSLAHR]

The IHRC documents and analyzes laws and policies that deal with nationality and citizenship in Middle Eastern and North African countries. Check out one of our recent reports: “Statelessness and Nationality Policy in Morocco," linked here: https://t.co/fGoGvjYDrU

In his speech to the UN Foundation, UN Relief Chief Tom Fletcher laments the rise in the killing of humanitarians—over 1,000 dead in the past three years—and says this is precisely the time when the UN must remain steadfast.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

A time of inequality.

A time of lawlessness.

A time of division.

This is a time for the United Nations.

Despite Israel’s violations of the ceasefire in Gaza and the uncertainty surrounding UNRWA’s leadership after Commissioner-General Lazzarini’s term came to an end, UNRWA continues to provide psychosocial support services and education to hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

Our latest on the situation in 📍#Gaza and #WestBank: 

🔹 Despite the ceasefire, violence continues across the Gaza Strip, with reported escalations east of the “Yellow Line” and civilian casualties. 

🔹 Cases of scabies, skin diseases and rodent infestations are increasing in displacement sites. UNRWA and partners are scaling up hygiene kit distribution, with urgent need for pest control supplies. 

🔹 Shortages of batteries, lubricants and spare parts are severely disrupting operations and generators are nearing critical failure.

BADIL Resource Center’s position paper sheds important light on Israel’s rationale for continuing to commit genocide in Gaza and its mass displacement campaign in Lebanon.

[BADIL @BADIL_Center]

Far from being a marginal or fringe view, the Israeli regime’s Decisive Plan represents the direct continuation of Zionist doctrine since its earliest formulations. BADIL’s new position paper demonstrates that the Decisive Plan is the culmination of the Israeli regime’s long-standing colonial objective: maximum amount of land with the minimum number of Palestinians.
