Description
The refugee experience is far from over upon arrival in a place of asylum. Indeed, in many ways, the struggle to create a new life has only begun. As refugees can attest to, the process of fully normalizing their lives--reuniting with family members, securing local education for themselves and their children, finding appropriate employment, and participating in the political life of their new countries--is one fraught with legal and procedural difficulties, a process that leaves many in "limbo" long after their new lives should be well under way. Similar limbo is experienced by the stateless, those denied the basic yet essential right of nationality. Like refugees, stateless people face often insurmountable difficulties in securing the core protections of the state in which they reside. And, as is the case for refugees, the existence of international treaties aimed at assuring their protection far from guarantees their physical or legal security.
