Moldova and Bulgaria have become the latest states to accede to Statelessness Conventions, the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) informs.<\/p>\n

Moldova formally deposited its instruments of accession to the 1954 Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons and the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness with the United Nations in New York on 19th April.<\/p>\n

“UNHCR is very pleased by these new accessions to the global treaties to address and resolve statelessness,” Peter Kessler, UNHCR Representative to the Republic of Moldova said.<\/p>\n

“Achieving an increased number of states parties to the two statelessness conventions is key to making progress on reducing statelessness.”<\/p>\n

So far, 73 countries joined the 1954 Convention in regard with the Status of Stateless Persons.<\/p>\n

According to the UNHCR, thirty two States pledged at UNHCR’s ministerial meeting in December to accede to one or both Convention. Both Moldova and Bulgaria have now acted on their pledges. <\/p>\n

“Broadening the list of signatories to these two treaties is a goal of UNHCR, which is mandated by the UN to prevent statelessness from occurring, to resolve existing cases and to protect the rights of stateless persons,” Mr. Kessler said. <\/p>\n

More than 5,000 persons of Moldova identified themselves as stateless during the most recent census, which did not cover the breakaway Transnistrian section of the country. So far over 2,000 stateless persons have been formally registered. Most of them are former Soviet citizens. Moldova recently passed a law establishing a statelessness determination procedure with support from the governments of Hungary and France, as well as from UNHCR, so a formal examination of statelessness claims is now taking place, according to the UNHCR.
