Seminar

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.”

The STRINGS final workshop will gather researchers, policymakers, funders and civil society to discuss and share experiences on how prioritisations in science, technology and innovation (STI) may need to be revised to better address the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in different contexts — with a particular focus on low- and middle-income countries.

In the 1990s, Robert Serry was the first Dutch ambassador to Ukraine, which had just become independent. In early March 2014 he was sent to Crimea as Special Envoy to the Secretary-General of the United Nations to mediate the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. He was held up by armed guards and finally was forced to abandon his mission.
