According to Statistics Denmark the number of stateless people in Denmark is at 1,342. Of these, 460 have been unaware that they have had the right to citizenship in Denmark under UN conventions, simply because they are stateless people born in Denmark.
The Statistics Denmark figures come in the midst of a heated debate about illegal rejections of citizenship applications that dozens of stateless Palestinians received between 2004 and 2010. It now seems that there has been a silent majority that has not applied, probably because they were unaware of an option that has been available for more than 10 years.
