Legal Assistance
The list below is comprised of a number of NGOs in Europe that may be able to provide legal assistance to stateless people. Apatride Network used meta analysis of three databases as well as input from partners to make the list. Please keep in mind that this list is a supplementary resource rather than a guaranteed solution. Legal assistance capacity among NGOs in Europe remains very limited. Some NGOs may not be able to provide assistance at all due to capacity constraints or lack of sufficient expertise, depending on the case. Apatride Network is working to build up legal assistance capacity to improve the situation.

To make progress in resolving statelessness, it is important for states to sign on and ratify the above conventions. Moreover, it is the responsibility of each state to enforce those conventions in their respective jurisdictions. Without the cooperation of international community and its member states, there can be little hope of resolving statelessness.
