Stateless Child Born Every 10 Minutes Globally
Thursday 30 June, 2016 - 10:15
The United Nations Refugee Agency says a stateless child is born every 10 minutes around the world.
The agency says there are about 10 million stateless people in the world and that 30 percent of them are children.
It says this is mainly due to discriminatory citizenship laws which are exacerbated by the fact that most countries grant citizenship based on descent.
