The United Nations High Commission for Refugees has chastised Denmark in connection with its rejection of applications for citizenship by stateless young people, contrary to two UN conventions.
“We have never heard of similar cases of rejections (of citizenship) for stateless people in other countries. At least not in the Nordic region or in Western Europe. And we have never hear of countries failing to inform people about their rights,” says the UNHCR’s Chief Legal Officer on issues of stateless people Liv Feijen.
