Pakistan - Stateless or at risk of statelessness

2020

UNHCR’s legal assistance project targets only one of the many settlements of stateless persons, Machar Colony in Karachi. The scope of the project could not be expanded to other settlements where stateless populations reside in Karachi due to financial constraints. As a result, a considerable number of stateless persons remained unidentified and their difficulties in accessing basic services and civil documentation remained unaddressed.
