Refugee Studies Centre Policy Briefing

The Refugee Studies Centre, University of Oxford, has launched its third
Policy Briefing on Statelessness, Protection and Equality by Professor
Brad K. Blitz (Human and Political Geography, Kingston University and
RSC Research Associate). This briefing provides a typology of stateless
people and contexts, reviews, relevant international law and
jurisprudence, and assesses the links between nationality and the
protection of human rights. It gives recommendations for reducing and
eliminating statelessness in the future.

The RSC Forced Migration Policy Briefings highlight the very best and
latest policy-relevant research findings from the fields of forced
migration and humanitarian studies. The RSC invites the submission of
policy briefings on all topics of relevance to policy and practice in
the fields of forced migration, refugee protection and humanitarian
intervention. Enquiries should be directed to rscpolicy@qeh.ox.ac.uk
