Syria's undocumented children left stateless by father-only nationality law
Original: Syria’s undocumented children ‘pay the price’ of war and a law that shuts out mothers Many children born in Syria since
Many children born in Syria since the war began in 2011 have no legal identity because Syrian nationality passes only through fathers, and many fathers have been killed or gone missing during the conflict. A member of an independent UN body said these undocumented children are 'paying the price' of the war and of a law that shuts out mothers, leaving them unable to access schooling, healthcare or basic rights.
Why now: A UN expert has drawn fresh attention to statelessness among Syria's war-born children, a problem that persists as the country's future remains uncertain.
