Virtual Symposium – Child’s Right to Identity in Emergency Settings
The Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion (ISI), Child Identity Protection (CHIP) and supporting organizations are pleased to convene a Symposium focusing on “The Child’s Right to Identity in Emergency Settings”. This symposium will delve deeper into the challenges of protecting and preserving identity rights, including nationality rights, for children on the move and children affected by armed conflict. This event will examine how children’s identity rights are undermined in emergency settings, the increased risk of statelessness and the need for urgent action on repatriation, reintegration and reunification of children affected by armed conflict. The event also seeks to identify best practices from the field and stimulate further action on these issues.
