The CDCJ-MIG held its 5th meeting on stateless children on 23-24 February 2026, online, chaired by Katerina Radova (Czechia). During its meeting, it continued reviewing the draft revised recommendation on the nationality of children as well as its related explanatory memorandum in the light of the drafting proposals received. The Group also examined the preliminary draft checklists to assist policy makers in the implementation of the future recommendation and help them assess their national framework on children's access to nationality and thus prevent child statelessness.
