De Groot, G-R. (2021) Analysis of current practices and challenges regarding the avoidance and reduction of statelessness in Europe. 

Foundlings or children of unknown parents found in the territory can be among the most 
vulnerable being left otherwise stateless. Article 2 of the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of 
Statelessness provides for the nationality grant to foundlings found in the territory, and many non-State parties also have equivalent nationality law provisions. However, many States in the Asia and the Pacific region do not have such “foundling provisions.” Even in States with such provisions, “non-typical” cases such as older children found in the territory, or children for whom incomplete information exists on the identity of their parent(s) may be left stateless, often with the “foundling provisions” narrowly interpreted to only mean “abandoned newborns.”
