Nationality For All
Nationality For All (“NFA”) was formed
from the work undertaken by the
Statelessness Network Asia Pacific (SNAP)
over four years to build a regional civil
society movement addressing
statelessness in the region. It is the only
regional organisation working to end
statelessness and promote the right to
nationality in Asia Pacific.
Our Australia, Jakarta, Singapore and
Vietnam offices contributed to the
development of a Statelessness
Encyclopaedia Asia Pacific (SEAP) II
and (SEAP) III projects. The work involved
exploring the legal implications of
citizenship laws in tandem with laws on
human rights and accountability in
Digital ID systems, including whether
the Digital ID of a country is a marker
of citizenship, and whether mandatory
Digital ID is a barrier preventing stateless
persons from accessing basic services.
“We came to Hogan Lovells in need of pro
bono support to complete our regional
report on statelessness. The legal research
we received from Hogan Lovells, including
comprehensive country factsheets on the
laws, policies, and causes relating to
statelessness in Vietnam, Singapore, and
Indonesia, filled a notable gap in our
capacity that helped make publishing
this vital report possible.”
