Protection of the right to nationality: Resolution No. 02/23 of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights / Protección del derecho a la nacionalidad: Resolución No. 02/23 de la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos
Seminar available in both English and Spanish
Legal barriers and discriminatory practices still prevent or hinder the enjoyment of the right to nationality, despite the safeguards established by the different States in the region of the Americas. Faced with these challenges, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights published Resolution No. 02/23 on the protection of the right to nationality, prohibition of arbitrary deprivation of nationality and statelessness.

Based on the experience of the panelists, this discussion will allow us to delve deeper into the development of standards on the matter, the most pressing restrictions to effectively ensure the right to nationality and propose appropriate responses.

Spanish:

Barreras legales y prácticas discriminatorias aún impiden o dificultan el goce del derecho a la nacionalidad, pese a las salvaguardias establecidas por los diferentes Estados en la región de las Américas. Frente a estos desafíos, la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos publicó la Resolución No. 02/23 sobre la protección del derecho a la nacionalidad, prohibición de privación arbitraria de nacionalidad y apatridia.

Partiendo de la experiencia de las panelistas, este conversatorio permitirá profundizar en el desarrollo de los estándares sobre la materia, las restricciones más apremiantes para asegurar de manera efectiva el derecho a la nacionalidad, y proponer respuestas adecuadas.
