UNHCR Regional Office for the Baltic and Nordic Countries in Stockholm has a vacancy for a Consultant
Responsibilities:
The consultant will analyze the current situation of de facto/de iure stateless persons in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. The research will aim to identify gaps in legislation, administrative procedures and decision-making, identification procedures and statistics. The study will also map out obstacles to solutions, protection-related issues and areas of divergence in interpretation and practice, including any which could raise questions of compatibility with international standards. Focus will be on the identification and registration of stateless persons and on the legislation affecting stateless persons, in particular how their legal status, right to naturalization and access to civil, political and socio-economic rights are outlined in the national legislation. The study will also identify obstacles in practice preventing access to nationality and/or the effective realization of rights based on administrative obstacles and/or discrimination. Finding durable solutions and improving the local integration by facilitating naturalization and ameliorating the legal framework for stateless persons is also one of the main goals of the study.
Activities:
1. Desk review mapping out the current situation of statelessness in the Nordic countries including legislation, practice and relevant international standards
2. Identifying recent work by other researchers materials available on status determination procedures in the five countries concerned;
3. Interviews with relevant stakeholders in countries concerned;
4. Comparing findings against agreed standards, with a view to identify good practice;

6. Presentation of the final report - official launch
