Addressing the Right to a Nationality Through the Convention on the Rights of the Child: A Toolkit for Civil Society

The Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion has developed this Toolkit to assist civil society in its endeavours to effectively engage the Committee on the Rights of the Child to ensure that States fulfill their obligations under Article 7 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child to promote, respect, and fulfill every child’s right to acquire a nationality, and to ensure that no child is stateless.

The Toolkit comprises of ten sections which can be read together or individually, depending on the reader’s existing level of knowledge and interest. Each section serves a specific purpose, while also being part of a collection of Tools which provide civil society actors, including NGOs, National Human Rights Institutions and Ombudspersons with a wide range of information and advice.
