A Case Study of Child Statelessness
This paper tries to find a solution for child statelessness by looking at international customary law, considering that the Conventions on the matter still face problems of accession from reluctant states. The author explores the development of practice of both child statelessness and customary law by examining whether there are any presumptions in favor of establishing norms, and if so, how to assess them.
